Editorial Reviews

Review

I have shared Making Sense of Sensory Integration with several families and teachers, and each was very happy to have the information shared in this calm, succinct cassette. The conversation itself is clear and very informative, and the booklet accompanying the cassette is full of helpful information... The checklists are invaluable in helping parents frame their questions. This is an essential tool for clinicians and any specialist concerned with educating people about sensory integrative function. -- Lee Pennington Neill, PhD, Interim Editor, Sensory Integration Quarterly, Spring/Summer 1999

Three articulate and reassuring occupational therapists answer the most frequently asked questions about SI - a subtle, hidden neurological problem that can have a huge impact when it prevents a child from enjoying just being a kid. -- Carol Kranowitz, author of The Out-of-sync Child

From the Publisher

Because this audio tape demystifies sensory integration, it will be a valuable resource for educators, therapists, physicians, and parents. It will encourage increased awareness of the problems and foster more acute observational skills in discerning them. It will highlight the importance of compassionate, child-centered therapy. (Lois Hickman, MS, OTR, Belle Curve Records)

I found the audio cassette and book very informative but there was little information that I did not already know. I found this to be a very broad overview and did not provide any in-depth information.

I do give it 4 stars because it is very clear and consise. The author and panelists explain SI in a very easy to understand way. I had already read "The Out of Sync Child" and I wish it had been the other way around. I found "The Out of Sync Child" a little difficult to read at times and I think that if I had listened to and read this tape and book first, then I would have had an easier time with the other.

In a nutshell, I highly recommend this book/tape as a "jumping off" point for understanding Sensory Integration Disorder.

3.0 out of 5 stars Please Stop The Music!, October 29, 2002

This review is from: Making Sense of Sensory Integration (Audio Cassette & Booklet) (Informational) (Audio Cassette)

The tape is quite informative but as one of the previous commenters suggested, quite basic. Perhaps a good solid introduction. My complaint is with the format of the tape. The music selected for the tape could not be more melancholy and depressing. It was entirely the wrong choice and will drive parents, who are already worried about their kids, into despair. In addition, there are points were the music is used for transition and it goes on entirely too long. Final comment, for getting one cassette tape, the price is much too [spendy].
