Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Parents are often the first to notice when a child is struggling with a sensory disorder. But even after knowing what the problem is, parents still need to know what to expect and, more importantly, what to do to help their child. This book is a parent-to-parent guide for raising a child with Sensory Integration Disorder. Using nonmedical language, the authors walk you through the challenges that children may face, such as being uncomfortable with hugs and kisses, experiencing a "fight or flight" sensation when brushing teeth or combing hair, etc. The two moms give tips and advice for school, home, and the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific no nonsense explaination of Sensory Dysfunction, December 7, 2001
By A Customer
Great, easy to read for parents and others that have SID children in their life. Highly recommended that parents have teachers, friends, relatives read this to help them understand that our children are in need of gentle support for their needs. Really helped me understand the relative dysfunction that my child has. Gave me hope that with a little education and help from OT we can work on making my childs life much better. It won't be easy, the authors are very honest. No-nonsense, reality based from two mothers of SID children.
Another great recommendation is The Out of Sync Child.

4.0 out of 5 stars Basic and non-technical, September 7, 2001
By Squirt66 "squirt66" (St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews
Easy reading. Covers typical and atypical behavior of infants, toddlers, preschool and school age. Touched on ways children with these behaviors can disrupt home and school activities.The key is early intervention. Written more for parents of children who have significant SID issues.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little too simplistic for me, July 30, 2004
By Carol S. (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
  
This is a very simplified, big-picture look at sensory integration disorder. If you have never heard of sensory integration and are looking for a quick way to get up to speed on the basics, then this book might be helpful. The book is easy to read and covers issues like school, different age groups, and an explanation of what SI is. However, there isn't much text, and what's there is short on details and depth. If you've already read "The Out of Sync Child," by C. S. Kranowitz, then you will probably, like me, find this too simplistic to be worthwhile.
