Answer:
It is great that your family is interested in learning more about your son’s difficulties. My colleague Courtney wrote a great introductory article to anxiety disorders that can be found on our Horizons website, www.horizonsdrc.com under the resources section. I would encourage your family to read this article. A book you may want to read is Freeing Your Child From Anxiety by Tamar Chansky. A wonderful website for sensory processing disorders is www.sinetwork.org. This website is full of great information and articles on sensory processing disorders.
I hope you find this information helpful,
