The Power of Storytelling

Dear Readers,

Last April, I came up with the idea of having a blogroll dedicated to those blogging about Sensory Processing Disorder.  I put the word out.

And at first it was just Chynna, Caitlin and myself.

Within days that grew. And grew.  And GREW.

By December 2010 it had nearly 60 members. 

Parents of kids with sensory issues, all dedicated to writing about their experiences in an effort to reach out and support other families just like theirs.

They were committed to spreading awareness of Sensory Processing Disorder as far as their words could reach.

I believe that stories are powerful. One of the most ancient, time trusted, ways to share information, tell about resources and to relay our history.

Because of this, I thought, what could be more powerful than all of these stories in once place?

And the SPDBN was born.
