Do you do seminars on this? How about any geared toward educators/parents?

Your summary is excellent. My husband and I knew that our young child's reactions were not the norm, but we could not find a reason. Another parent suggested SPD. I pursued the lead and at the end of first grade our child was diagnosed with SPD. Finally, we had an explanation and a direction. Unfortunately, many teachers are still not aware of the disorder, especially in private schools. I am a parent of a child with SPD. Your summary is excellent.

I have been involved with groups wanting to research the issues and develop interventions. It wasn't too long ago when schools would dismiss this diagnosis as "clinical" and having no place in the school setting. Now I reveive calls about possible sensory problems. Before children receive the Autism diagnosis I have been providing therapy to address the sensory issues. I don't see an explosion of autism being diagnosed. I see children who were "behavior disorder", "emotionally disturbed" or CNS now fitting into the spectrum. We are making progress and I am feeling really good about the direction we are going.Thanks for your summary of SPD. It says it all. I have been working with this diagnosis since 1974.
