2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, November 27, 2007

By	Katia (Charlotte NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sensory Motor Issues in Autism (Spiral-bound)

I was expecting some useful "excercises" to try with my child, but there were very limited ideas and mostly for pre-schoolers and younger. Few hints were aimed to school age children; however, they were more appropriate for children with higher functions abilieties (i.e. Aspergen syndrome) while my child is low function.
I returned the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sound intervention ideas, September 29, 2005

By	Autism Consultant (Nashville, TN, USA) - See all my reviews

As a professional in the field of applied behavior analysis and autism, I often do not agree with interventions recommended by occupational therapists (the author is an OT) that target inappropriate sensory behaviors displayed by individuals with an autism spectrum disoder. However, this book makes a point of recommending age-appropriate interventions, as well as ways to teach individuals with an ASD to monitor their own sensory-seeking behaviors. The book is full of case examples and practical intervtions. It is short and easy to read, which makes it a valuable resource for parents and teachers. One caution - this book DOES NOT USE PEOPLE-FIRST LANGAUGE! If you can get past that fault, then it's a great resource.
