“Meghan’s World is written in simple enough language for children to understand, but gives
parents some important information as well. Children with sensory processing disorders
can easily relate to it, as one child exclaimed, ‘That’s like me!’ The illustrations are
beautiful and engaging. Parents and professionals should have it in their library.
I highly recommend it!”
- Jeanne S. Ganz, OTR/L, BCP

“This book is a must-read for all children and all parents of children diagnosed with SPD.
My daughter (age six) loved reading about another child who has undergone many of the
same treatments, and has had the same emotions as herself. As a parent, the book was
informative, encouraging, and inspirational. It really does help to hear what other
families have done for their children suffering with this often misunderstood disorder.”
- Alison Lynne, author of The Dolly Adventures, and a mother of children with SPD

“This beautiful and easy-to-read story about very complicated and life-altering issues
brings Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) to life through the gentle words of Meghan’s
mother. Families, friends, teachers, and therapists can share this book with each other to
promote understanding, compassion, and hope. As I travel across the world, spreading the
news about SPD, I will be sharing this book with everyone I meet. Congratulations, Diane
and Meghan!”

"A simple story effectively describing a complex disorder.”
- Donna Menna, Speech-Language Pathologist and Special Educator

"Reading your book really helped us identify the issues that our daughter experiences. It
was so helpful for us to read about your journey and the helpful resources you found along
the way. Thank you for writing this and sharing what worked."
- Scott Mesh, PhD, Psychologist

"I received the books and I love it even more then I remembered! Both my kids
completely related to it in their own way and ask me to read it to them over and over. My
kindergartner wants to bring the book to school to show her teachers. I've been sharing
the book with family and friends who I feel would appreciate it and it's all we are talking
about. Thank you so much for putting words to our children's feelings. Please thank
Meghan for sharing her personal story with us. Good luck with all of your endeavors."

"Hi Diane, you may not remember me, but I had emailed you with questions regarding
Berard AIT for my daughter, who was sounding suspiciously like your daughter Meghan.
My daughter went thru Berard in April and what a difference. She's not the same kid
today that she was six months ago. So many of her challenges have resolved, it's hard to
put them all down in one place, but I can't thank you enough for your input - your
feedback helped put us over the hump with deciding to do Berard and it was the best
decision we ever made. The changes have been profound. As you said, it's all good. We're
likely going to delve into enzymes next (one thing at a time), but just wanted to extend my
thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience. It helped us a lot. Be well, LB"

Another awesome 'update' for LB, below:

"Hi Diane, I just wanted to send you an update and a thank you. Your insights regarding
Meghan were so helpful to us on our journey - I have one other question and wanted to
share a resource with you.

Resource: Berard was definitely helpful in getting us part of the way there with (my
daughter's) auditory sensitivity. We just did another program (Fast ForWord) which is
technically supposed to be a literacy program (which my daughter) didn't need, because
she was already reading) but we did it for the ancillary benefits around the retaining with
hearing. It has definitely been a further refinement of the Berard intervention and has
taken her to a whole new level - especially with ability to filter out background noise. Not
sure if this is still an issue for Meghan, but I thought I'd pass along the resource in case
you are interested. I learned about it in the Norman Doidge book, "The Brain that Changes
Itself." You can learn more about the program at www.scientificlearning.com....thanks a
million for all your help! - LB (5/25/09)

"Thank you so much for your book. It is truly inspirational. I found it while doing an online
search about SPD for my daughte. It is our favorie book to read together. Finally, I can
answer her question that yes, there are other kids out there like you. She related to the
struggles getting dressed, the OT sessions and the brushing....Many thanks for your help
and for telling Meghan's story."
