A great collection of ideas!Jul 14, 2010
I purchased this book when our oldest was first diagnosed with having some sensory processing difficulties. The book contains a wealth of ideas for sensory challenged children and each of the activities is sectioned within a chapter pertaining to a particular sense, like vestibular activities, tactile activites, auditory, etc., so that you can customize your play regime specifically to the needs of your child (or just try a little of them all, they are great fun!) This book outways any fancy toy or jungle gym by far. The games are easy and inexpensive to play, most using items you probably already have around the house and many contain variations to spice up your routine. Some you may recognize as things you did yourself as a child and you may find it fascinating to read how these particular activities helps our sensory growth. These activities are great fun for unchallenged children as well (our younger child had a blast doing them with our older one), making great boredom busters for rainy days or out of school summers. The age range is listed with each activity, most of them around 3-teen, making it easy for parents to pick and choose as well as quick summaries on what skills the activity builds. For parents of children with and without SPD, this is a great resource book for play activities that invite creativity, learning, and fun to your home. I would highly recommend this book to any parent of small children.

 The Out of Sync Child?????Jun 21, 2010
I agree with some of the other reviews on a couple of levels. One...the book has some good activities for all kids. Two...it also has good information regarding autism. However, the book is not about autism. It is about a fictitious condition called sensory integration disorder. There is no evidence that this condition exists and the book is, frankly, terrifying since each and every kid will fit into the checklists somehow. I've been teaching twenty years and I don't see anything valuable that the book has to offer on the topic. In fact, I think it actually encourages stereotyping and has no research to back up its claims. Read it with caution if you choose to read it at all.
Just what I needed!May 21, 2010
This book is absolutely wonderful for parents of children with SPD. It is chock-full of great ideas for fun activities that are safe and appropriate for these special children, as well as fun for the other children in your life! My 4 year old daughter is an SPD kid and she has enjoyed these activities right along side her 6 year old sister and 2 year old brother.

The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Integration DysfunctionJan 11, 2010
Well put together. Bracing for me, but I've dealt with it by memorizing different facts, etc. I have to toggle off reading it and read "The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, Revised Edition: Activities for Kids with Sensory Processing Disorder". Recognizing and Coping is technical, and "Has Fun" gives you things you can do everyday that lighten your child's load and instill confidence.

Therapy that doesn't feel like therapyMar 29, 2009
Being the adoptive mother of a wonderful little girl with Special Needs, I am ALWAYS looking for new and fun ways to add to her therapy that doesn't feel like therapy. Having found the "Out of Sync Child" book a tremendouse help in our day to day lives, I was hopeful this book would prove beneficial to our play time. And it is. My daughter suffers from Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, a condition that is the result of her being prenatally exposed to alcohol by her birth mother. Her challenges are many, including; Severe Sensory Processing Disorder, OCD, ADHD, Short Term Memory Loss, Cognitive Delays, Emotional Delays, Behavorial issues, just to name a few. Many of these challenges seem to accompany MOST of the brain disorders. So I think this book would be a great addition to the library of any caregiver, teacher, therapist, anyone, that faces these challenges with their child / client.
