Some people run from a crisis. Dayna Abraham of Lemon Lime Adventures decided to build a life around it in order to understand it. What could possibly make a mom leave her job as a teacher, pull her child from public school, start a blog, write a book, and start shipping hundreds of backpacks to students across America? The answer for Dayna was sensory processing disorder. These are three words that few people have heard together...but as Dayna can tell you, they are critical words for the sanity of many families who have a child with sensory processing issues. Dayna goes one step further: she says that sensory processing is a concept that everyone should learn. Because sensory processing holds a couple of secrets that will make the behavior of all of our friends and families more understandable.
