How it works
Step 1: Tell us what you are looking for
Pick the path that fits your situation — a child, an adult, or a local service.

Read plain-language background and watch material from established sources.
Step 3: Connect with a local service if appropriate
When it makes sense, move on to a provider in your area on your own terms.
This site provides general education and directory information only. It does not diagnose, treat, or provide emergency help. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

Local focus
Starting in Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan
This is a pilot, and the geography is deliberately narrow. Rather than covering the whole state thinly, the aim is to get one region right first. The local directory is still being built, and no listings are published yet.
Work in this region?
Local practices and organizations can read how listings will work before the directory opens.
Information for providersCommon questions
What is a sensory diet?
It is a term used in occupational therapy for a planned set of everyday activities and adjustments meant to help someone stay comfortable and focused through the day. Despite the name it has nothing to do with food. The approach is associated with the work of occupational therapist Patricia Wilbarger. A plan like this is normally put together with a qualified professional who knows the individual, because what helps one person may not suit another.
Is this medical advice?
No. Everything here is general education. This site does not assess anyone, does not diagnose, and does not provide treatment or emergency help. For questions about a specific person, speak with a licensed professional. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
How do provider listings work?
The directory is still being built and no listings are published yet. When it opens, providers will appear only if they have agreed to be listed and their details have been confirmed. Listings will describe what a practice says it offers — they are not a review, a rating, or a check of clinical quality, and not every listed provider will have been vetted beyond confirming basic details. Any paid placement will be labeled as paid. See the disclosure page.
Is the site free for families?
Yes. Reading the site and using the directory is free, with no account required. Nothing is currently for sale here. If that ever changes, it will be stated plainly on the disclosure page before it goes live.
