For all OTs working with special children,
By A Customer
This review is from: Occupational Therapy for Children with Special Needs (Paperback)
This is a great book! Especially for therapists starting out to use sensory processing principles in their interventions. Easy to read and filled with practical ideas.

Not what its title says it is,
By A Customer
This review is from: Occupational Therapy for Children with Special Needs (Paperback)
I work in the school systems with children with learning disabilities. It was totally designed for an SI therapist in the clinic. As far as sensory integration is concerned, feel it fell short of assisting to advance my knowledge base.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Maybe it is good,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Occupational Therapy for Children with Special Needs (Paperback)
Cannot honestly say anything about the book. It was for my niece, and sent to her to another country. She will use it for her work. I suppose it is good, being recommended to be purchased from another country (the U.S.A.). She lives in the Philippines. On this basis, I will tentatively rate it a 4-star.
