Thanksgiving is full of wonderful things. The smell of food fills the air. We get to eat that wonderful smelling food. We get to catch up with family members. Kids get to run around and play with cousins. Pie (because honestly, it deserves its own category). And what’s thanksgiving without football and the die-hard fans cheering at the TV? We all have our own fun traditions. For most of us, this is not just a feast of food. It’s a feast for all of our senses. But for kids with Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD), it feels less like a sensory feast and more like sensory overload. All those things that we view as positive, the scents in the air, the food, the happy chatter of family, overwhelm these sensory sensitive kids. And sensory overload can lead to tantrums, resistance and all out meltdowns.
