The other thing about the STAR Center that I love, is that they are not territorial about SPD nor do they think they are the only OT’s in the world who can effectively facilitate treatment for SPD. They encouraged me to seek out a therapist in my area and even offered to correspond with the school or a new OT if needed so that my transition back to home life would be smoother. — Hollie Parry, http://spdstar.org/what-parents-are-saying/
