About the Author

Hartley lives in the Seattle area with her husband Jeff and their three sons: Gabriel, Nicholas and Matthew.  Her oldest son Gabriel was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder in 2005, just months before his adoption from Foster Care was finalized, opening a new chapter in her life.  Since then she has become a dedicated advocate, not just for her own son, but for the millions of other children affected by Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).  Hartley spends her days at home chasing all three boys and chronicling the never ending chaos that is her life on the blog Hartley's Life With 3 Boys (hartleysboys.com).   This is her first children's book, which she hopes will be of many, designed to promote awareness and understanding of Sensory Processing Disorder.
