4.0 out of 5 starsIt's a treasure-trove!
By The Every Free Chance Reader on September 4, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
Did I enjoy this book: I liked the book. It was a bit wordy, and I felt that Dalgliesh was uncomfortable writing the first few chapters - they covered the basics on various sensory disorders, which are clearly not her area of expertise - but otherwise it was great!

When I'm reading a Special Education book I review it two different ways - once as an Applied Behavior Analysis professional and once as a parent. As an ABA professional there were a few things that irked me - mainly Dalgliesh's statement that "sensory kids are aware...that something is `different' about them," along with her assumption that `sensory kids' are always verbal. They're not - in either situation. But Dalgliesh makes no claims of being a Special Ed professional, so I'll give her a pass.

All the way through the book I kept saying to myself, "Um, yeah, duh." "Obviously." "Well OF COURSE you would do that! Why wouldn't you?" I thought I was being a Special Ed snob, but then I realized something. Carolyn Dalgliesh is a genius. She's taken her organizational skills (which, as someone with OCD, I utterly appreciate), and used them to help parents - the parents of any child - streamline, simplify, and relax their lives. She focuses on long-term lessons, not specific tasks or behaviors, so by reading this book you'll end up with an overall strategy for parenting, not one program designed to target one specific behavior.

Dalgliesh conveys the basics of ABA in an informal, friendly tone: be an objective observer and understand your child rather than trying to fix him. She's also figured out that a lot of what we, as Special Education professionals, DO is common sense: break down problematic tasks into easy steps, get rid of the distractions, and use visual aids.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsLOVED IT!!!
By graciousmom on September 5, 2013
Format: Paperback
I absolutely LOVE this book! I am a mom of a child that will get ALOT of use from this book. I have a little person that gets overwhelmed, overstimulated and anxious in certain environments and situations. This book will help me and my child manage this. Not only will it help him, it will help my whole family! I LOVE the visual ideas and will not only implement this on my little guy, I will put the system into place for my older ones as well. You can truly tell the author is a mom, and she gave me such a sense of peace throughout this book, a feeling of "someone finally gets it". I absolutely LOVE her new parenting rules listed out on page 28. Thank you for this wonderful book!

4.0 out of 5 starsThis book is a keeper that you can refer back to again and again.
By Cheryl Koch VINE VOICE on September 7, 2013
Format: Paperback
I picked up a copy of this book because my nephews have ADHD. In addition to some emotional and psycological disorders. I love them very much and it is hard to see them going through these things at such a young age of nine and ten. Although they have been going through this for a while. My parents are great as they are helping my sister to raise her boys.

First what I like about this book is that Mrs. Dalgliesh has a child with sensory issues. So she is not just a person writing a book or someone with a degree. She has actually experienced the things she is writing about first hand. There are many different forms of sensory besides just ADHD. There is also bipolar, OCD, and autism to name a few. Mrs. Dalgliesh explains the difference between all of these forms. This is important because in order to hellp your child you have to first discover which of the types your child is. Each form has some of the same traits but again once you have truely figured out which sensory type your child is than you can really focus on helping them to have a better productive, happy, and healthy life. Also you will than find some peace. Mrs. Dalgliesh writes this book in a easy and understandable way. She does not talk down to the reader. I like this as I want to be able to understandd what I am reading without having to figure out what all the big words mean. Another thing that I liked about this book is all the work sheets that were in this book. The homework is not just for the adult but also for the child as well. This book will bring both the parents and children closer together. This book is a keeper that you can refer back to again and again.

3.0 out of 5 starsA broad overview of life with a sensory child
By Amy Knepper on March 2, 2015
Format: Paperback
I think this book was overly optimistic. Instead of covering the organization of a bedroom, or organizing a school day, this book tackled the idea of organizing an entire life. Unfortunately, with such a large topic, she was only able to give a few tiny ideas on any given topic, so it ends up being a shallow overview of the methods available. This would probably be excellent for a parent who has just discovered they are parenting a sensory child, but for those who have been in the trenches of coping, managing, and getting ideas from therapists, there isn't a lot of new information here.

I picked it up because my two kids (one sensory, one neurotypical) share a bedroom, and I was hoping for some very clear ideas about how to help them manage that. We already use labelled bins and visual organizers and checklists. The tips on keeping a bedroom clean took up 9 pages of the 262 in here. Since there is only the one small room for both kids, the tips on zoning extra playrooms were completely useless for me.

I do appreciate the author's encouragement for parents to take the time and space to truly observe their children and try to see how to make the world work for them. You might find some new tips in here, but I think the author tried to tackle a lifetime's worth of ideas without clear organization of the topic itself. Split this into five or six different books full of ideas for each separate topic, and I bet it would be fantastic. As is, the ideas are too shallow and common-sense for me to get much from them.
