Cannot click on the survey if I use the link in the e-mail even though I can see the questions...it actually looks like a summary of responses...

Was unable to enter a comment to explain why I checked "other" and since that is the most popular response so far I think you need to fix this. Gial

I would like to know if Lucy Jane Miller succeeded in presenting and having Sensory Processing Disorder accepted by  DSM-5 committee as a new diagnosis.

Is there perhaps a chance to make this more user friendly?  First, white text on gray is hard to see on many monitors, second there is only one choice when voting and none are really what I want to see (I would like trends, policy, information that helps us keep abreast of the national issues beyond our profession as well as within it), it is not clear how to access the "voting", the page lacks useful directions, and when logging in (which is NOT a transparent process), one is flipped to the mega-crammed site which is OT connections, and then trying to find the right blog among zilliions, trying the search box to re-find "one-minute update" or similar produces nothing. Thank goodness for the Jetson's-style icon you have selected--that at least suggested I might be on the right page.   Hey, is this site Bobby-approved?  : )

Hi Chris!

I'll forward this to our IT department and see what we can do about making the polls more user friendly.

In the mean time, I hope to open a little discussion here in the comments section about what everyone wants out of their bi-weekly e-newsletter.

I appreciate your comments and ideas!

-Stephanie

No, that question has not been answered by the DSM-5 committee.

I found even more information at the SPD website.  They on in the process of doing a number of studies that were requested by the DSM-5 committee.  They need to complete these in about a year.  If it becomes a diagnosis who will be making the determination since it is usually done by physicians and yet they will not have the SIPT training?  Velma

Of course that is an important issue.  Would it be limited to psychologists and psychiatrists?  What do you think?

I think it would more appropriate for pediatricians and neurologists although the DSM is for psychiatric disorders.  I doubt that there will be insurance coverage which is crucial if it is only diagnosed by psychologists and psychiatrists.  At the moment I don't think that psychologists feel that there has been enough research to prove that SPD is real and treatable.  I was just at a course where a research psychologist from Yale said essentially that SPD is interesting but there isn't enough research.  I suspect that SPD is perceived this way by many professions other than OT.  What do you think.  Velma
