Product Description
For children with sensory integration issues-those who have difficulty processing everyday sensations and exhibit unusual behaviors such as avoiding or seeking out touch, movement, sounds, and sights-this groundbreaking book is an invaluable resource. Long thought to affect only autistic children, or mistaken for ADHD, SI dysfunction is finally being recognized as a separate condition. Coauthored by a pediatric occupational therapist and a parent of a child with SI dysfunction, Raising a Sensory Smart Child is as warm and accessible as it is authoritative and detailed and is an indispensable guide for parents, therapists, and teachers who will turn to it again and again. |

Helping Parents Make "Sense" of Their Child's World by C. M. Fannin (Redmond, WA USA) 5 Stars
October 24, 2009
Written by an Occupational Therapist trained in Sensory Integration and a parent who has a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, Lindsey Biel and Nancy Peske have given us thoughtful, easy to understand insights into a disorder that affects as many as 1 in 6 children.
The book is filled with practical tips and strategies for parents, helping them to look beyond observable behaviors to seek the triggers.
It should be on every parent's book shelf or "Wish List" - it is an extraordinary gift for any parent who is beginning their journey into SPD. It's on our MUST READ List.

Good gets even better by V. Zysk 5 Stars
September 08, 2009
As our world gets faster, louder, more crowded and stress-laden, it's not just kids with disabilities who experience sensory challenges. It's all kids (and adults!) - some a little, some a lot. Yet most people never stop to think about sensory issues and the extent to which they interfer with learning, functioning, with daily living.
Lindsey Biel and Nancy Peske have done a bang-up job explaining the complexities and far-reaching effects of sensory challenges. I've read numerous books on sensory issues. What makes this book stand out is the clear, conversational tone coupled with page after page of practical, helpful information. The authors go way beyond "education" and give you the real life tools you need to make the world a friendlier place for individuals with sensory issues.
The first edition was great. This one, with its expanded attention to autism spectrum disorders, is even better. You'll return to it again and again for answers, activities, and inspiration.

Great resource for parents and therapists by A. Ransom (Los Angeles, CA) 5 Stars
August 30, 2009
As a pediatric OT, I give this book to the parents of the children I work with after I complete the child's initial assessment because I believe it's so important that the we are on the same page as we start therapy. It is an incredible resource for parents of children with sensory processing disorders. One parent in particular described it as the most helpful book she ever read in helping her understand her son, which speaks volumes to me.

It really is the definitive book on sensory processing! by Rima Sonia Regas (Mission Viejo, CA United States) 5 Stars
August 25, 2009
The award-winning Raising a Sensory Smart Child has always been the definitive handbook on sensory issues. Written by an OT and the parent of a child with sensory processing disorder, the book not only explains what sensory issues are and how to treat them, it offers practical advice on everything from grooming to advocating for your child at school, discipline, helping family members (and your child) to understand your child's issues, and identifying comorbid conditions and alternative treatments. The section on solutions for everyday sensory problems alone is worth the price of the book, and the resource section is absolutely excellent. All that said, the new edition is even better. The authors have added an entire chapter on sensory issues and autism, explaining "stimming" behavior and advising parents on how to work with the team helping their child. This edition also includes more practical solutions and more suggestions for sensory diet activities for the entire family, as well as for teenagers and adults who continue to struggle with sensory processing. As with the original edition, the material is presented in straightforward language and a reassuring tone, and it incorporates the stories and voices of parents who have been there.
My suggestion is to read the beginning of the book to understand sensory issues and how they're related to ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and developmental delays. Then check out the chapters on the subjects that most concern you. Dip into the tips/solutions section when your child is really having trouble with clothing issues or you're concerned about how he'll handle an upcoming event. Read the Advocating for Your Child At School chapter before starting the new school year and delve into the section on working with an OT to maximize your ability to work with her to help your child.
All in all, if you buy only one book on sensory processing disorder, buy this one.
