Easy read... Helped me understand my child better...Aug 08, 2007
By A. bauman
"Mother, Wife, Artist"
There were things that were a mystery to me about my daughter from the moment she was born.
She had to be swaddled tightly, or she would scream for hours. She could not sleep, unless she was in a swing. As she grew, she could/would not eat anything that was not soft in texture. She screamed like she was in pain when I brushed her teeth. Screamed and frantically cried in the bathtub. Cried when we sang. She acted like rain was burning her skin and would cry and try to pull her arms and head in her shirt. She never walked anywhere barefoot. Would not swim in a pool, run through the sprinklers, or fingerpaint. She wouldn't get "messy" without being frantic about washing the dirt off. There were certain outfits or shoes she would refuse to wear...
If this sounds like your child, this book will help. I thought my child was a "bad baby", and could not figure her out... Until I read this book. I even found that my father and I have MANY sensory integration issues. This book helped me relate to my child better, and find ways to "desensitize" her to her surroundings. With the help of this book (she did not qualify for Occupational Therapy), my husband and I figured out ways to get her to live without being defensive to everything.
A year later, she is taking showers, swimming in creeks, running through sprinklers, asks me to help her brush her teeth, plays in the mud, etc. She seems nothing like the child we knew back then. This book will help you calm your child's senses, and make him/her more comfortable in their world.

Fantastic, Easy to read and InformativeOct 18, 2009
By T. Tate
This book is great! It is very detailed (using very simple, non medical language) in discussing signs, symptoms and strategies for Sensory Processing Disorder in every aspect of your childs life. There are IEP suggestions and strategies for school, home, and play. I am passing this book along to my family members so they can better understand my son. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a child with sensory processing disorders or who may think thier child has sensory issues. It is also fantastic to share with others who interact with your child.

Learn what to tell to those unbeleivers!Jun 26, 2010
By S. A. Gaertner
"thetruthteller"
This book will tell you exactly how to make a difference between diagnosis. And is also going to tell you what the pediatrician will probably say, what your insurance is going to claim.
Will explain as well what does your child feels toward with his/her environment.
