help add sensory processing disorder to DSM-5

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

This is an excerpt from a recent letter sent out from Lucy Miller at the SPD Foundation:

Would you help us promote recognition of Sensory Processing Disorder by posting a comment on the APA website?
To make participating as simple as possible, we have created a web page that includes instructions for reaching the comment area of the APA site. We’ve also provided topic suggestions based on what we know the APA is considering in their final deliberations.
Every letter counts! The deadline for commenting is April 20, but please act now. Numbers matter. A mountain of immediate, supportive comments will make a significant impression on the committee.
And please help us pass the word! Forward this message and/or the link to our comment page to your colleagues, physicians, clients, and friends. If you have a website, blog or social networking page, those are great places to get the word out, too. The more people who comment supportively, the better.
For years, people have asked us, “What can I do to help get Sensory Processing Disorder into the DSM?” Now is the time when individuals everywhere can help and what they do will matter. Join the movement to get Sensory Processing Disorder included in the DSM-5. Post your comments to the APA. This is our last chance to be included in the DSM until 2025!
