This book makes the complex issue of sensory integration dysfunction and its relationship to academic learning understandable to parents, teachers and professionals alike. It contains many clear and concise diagrams. The book presents each sensory sytem by defining it and describing behaviors associated with hyperactive and hypoactive responses of that system. It contains short chapters structured to reflect a heirarchical relationship between sensory registration, sensory processing, "higher level" sensory integrative skills such as praxis, and ultimately, abstract thinking and academic skills. This small book is packed with insight and is indepsensible for parents teachers and therapsits who have regular ineractions with children with sensory integrative dysfunction or disorders.

I am an Occupational Therapy Assistant and have used this book to educate parents and teachers while I worked in the school system. It is short and right to the point and explains the idea of Sensory Integration to the public in terms that make sense and are very logical;easy to understand, and most important, Applicable to everyday situations involving children who have sensory disorders and need to be understood as well as treated. I liked the book a lot. Kathy R.

This 22 page book takes brevity to a science. Although it nicely describes SI, it falls short of providing suggestions for improving SI. "While not a therapist, a teacher can do many activities within the classroom to meet the sensory needs of her students in general." This is as specific as the book gets.

An excellent resource to empower parents and teachers about SI. Very reader friendly.

Focuses on sensory processing and how deficits in each area are manifested. Very simple diagrams and examples. Great at a glance type of resource.

This book is so on target. The title really says it all. It is just what I needed.
