SIERF is an organization that supports children and adults who have sensory processing disorders.
Our mission
SIERF's serves three equally important missions:
1. To provide information and educational support for consumers and professionals
2. To support research efforts in the area of SPD and related disorders
3. To provide treatment for those individuals who may not have access
Through its mission, SIERF attempts to serve as a liaison to help parents advocate for their children and to help families link to health organizations within their communities that offer evaluation and therapy treatment with a sensory integration or sensory processing component. NOTE: Recently, newer terminology includes an expanding number of names for sensory integration as research efforts begin to clarify this disorder. Additional terms in the literature include: SPD, Sensory Processing Disorder; SMD, Sensory Modulation Disorder and Regulatory Disorders of Sensory Processing, (reference 0-3 Diagnostic Classification Revised, 400, 604 and 710).
