Parent Perspective,

This review is from: Introduction to How Does Your Engine Run?: The Alert Program for Self-Regulation (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by my son's OT. I was disappointed that it is essentially a 17 page pamphlet. Although it was a great OVERVIEW of the program...I consider the cost to information ratio excessive and I wish I had gotten it out of the library.

This review is from: Introduction to How Does Your Engine Run?: The Alert Program for Self-Regulation (Paperback)
This booklet is a well written easy read. Loan it to parents, caregivers, and team members. It provides a great introduction to the How Does Your Engine Run Program- Manual. I use it in a few different ways. First, it is just short enough that I can ask parents to read it during a session or two so I can answer questions immediately. Second, I use it as a reference to describe this intervention during team meetings. Third, I am a clinical instructor and this booklet is "required reading" for all of my clinical interns prior to starting a rotation.

An easy way to introduce the Alert Program to my son's teachers,

This review is from: Introduction to How Does Your Engine Run?: The Alert Program for Self-Regulation (Paperback)
On the recommendation of a friend, I got this booklet, along with the Leader's Guide, in order to work with my son who has some sensory integration issues. This booklet, in particular, has been very helpful for me to use when explaining the concepts to my son's teachers, daycare providers, babysitters, and our family because it gave me a solid and respectable source to back up what I was trying to teach them.
Every time I tried to get people to understand my son's "sensory seeking" behaviors and appropriate ways to meet his needs, I was faced with attitudes like "well, he's a boy, isn't that what boys do?" So, this has helped me explain the nervous system in a way that folks who have no training in this area can begin to understand. I highly recommend this booklet to share with key people who are involved in a child's care in order to start discussing SI and the Alert Program.
