Back To Basics

I think that with technology as it is, we sometimes forget how beneficial basic play can be and how greatly it aides in our child's development. This is such a great book and is so well organized. Every parent and gradparent/childcare giver of children should have this book, Sensory issues or not!

Any Child Has Fun!

This book transformed the way I looked at education...not just for children with special needs, but ANY child. This book is bursting at the seams with practical, detailed descriptions of activities that parents, teachers, occupational therapists can participate in with children to promote their sensory integration and academic success. I really appreciated the instructions giving ways to create or purchase equipment and also different variations on one activity to fit the needs of the child(ren) you are working with. This is a beautiful companion to "The Out-of-Sync Child" and I would highly recommend both of these books to anyone who cares about or works with children.

READ this for any child delays - physical,motor,speech

This is a fantastic resource that I reference again and again for great play ideas that actually help my son develop his brain in the areas of motor planning, fine motor, bilateral, etc. This book is FULL of great play ideas, like bean bag mania for bilateral integration and a simple length of cottom tubing as a proprioceptive giving tunnel. The obstacle course section alone is worth the price of the book; examples include, use flour to mark an outside obstacle course, like a line of flour on the grass for a somersault section... Get this book now, it is the number one idea resource for parents whose children are in OT (Occupational Therapy).

Finally some help for parents!! Great activities.

If you have a child with sensory issues this book is a must have. I have bought all different types of activity books to help entertain my son. None of them are helpful for a child with sensory issues because they all focus on activities that are hard for him. THIS BOOK IS GREAT!!The activities are well explained and so do-able in the home. They have been a great stress reliever for our family.Kranowitz has them organized by category and goes through the benefits and ways to adapt each activity depending on your child's defensiveness. If you have a special needs child you will find this book very helpful.
