You need this!

This is insightful and eye-opening! It's written very well and doesnt skimp on the good details of how sensory integration dysfunctions work. It gives practical solutions to help our sensory diverse children too! I couldn't put it down and am sharing with all care providers of my children. You can apply this information to typical kids as well, and even adults. Just fascinating information! It's a must have!

A Must Read for ANY parent

This book is the must-read for every parent, whether their children suffer from sensory integration or not. It is an eye opening look into the way we interpret our surroundings, and has given me information, tools, and hope for my daughter, who suffers severe developmental delays from this disorder. I would highly reccommend this book!

Very Pleased!

I have two children that experiece this disorder and I really enjoy this book. It is very down to earth as well as provides me with the insight and oppertunities to create better communication and life with our children. I would highly recommed it to anyone as alot of individuals are missed in their diagnosis and this could provide some great information.

The Out-of-Sync Child

This book is excellent. It is a resource I will treasure and share for many years to come. It is informative and encouraging to parents of children who just don't fit the "norm". Self tests help to determine if you should seek professional help. There are practicle techinques offered to try at home. I am keeping this book as a reference for my child's future teachers as well as myself.

Should be required reading for anyone who works with kids

The concept of Sensory Intregration Dysfuction is difficult to grasp. It sounds like some touchy feely diagnostic fad at first. It's even harder to explain to those around you. This book is an excellent detailed account of what it means, what to look for, what to do to correct it. Through this book we began to find help for our child and it was the first clue of an underlying more serious disorder (in his case, Asperger Syndrome.) Once you understand Sensory Integration Dysfuction you can spot it so easily it's hard to believe you could miss it before. On a playground, in a classroom, at Sunday school I can pick out the kids who have sensory issues in a heartbeat. If teachers were armed with this book they could save themelves, the parents and especially the chidren so much heartache. Kids would be diagnosed faster and be able to overcome their difficulties. If you have children in your life, please read this book. Knowledge is power.
