5.0 out of 5 stars READ this for any child delays - physical,motor,speech, October 21, 2003

By	HelpingDelayedKids.com "Margaret" (sf bay area, ca United States) - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic resource that I reference again and again for great play ideas that actually help my son develop his brain in the areas of motor planning, fine motor, bilateral, etc. This book is FULL of great play ideas, like bean bag mania for bilateral integration and a simple length of cottom tubing as a proprioceptive giving tunnel. The obstacle course section alone is worth the price of the book; examples include, use flour to mark an outside obstacle course, like a line of flour on the grass for a somersault section... Get this book now, it is the number one idea resource for parents whose children are in OT (Occupational Therapy).

5.0 out of 5 stars Time for children with disabilities to have FUN!, August 22, 2003

By	Patricia Luker (Royal Oak, Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Carol Stock Kranowitz has done it again! He first book, The Out-of-Sync Child was a god send for parents and teachers of children who have difficulties with processing and interpreting the sensory stimuli that they are bombarded with each day. Now, she goes a step further with her newest entry The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, which is a treasure-trove of activities that can help a child feel more comfortable with tactile, vestibular, proprieceptive, and other forms of stimuli. This really neat book starts out with an introduction to sensory integration and explains the sensory difficulties that children with Dysfunction of Sensory Integration [DSI] experience and then she discusses SAFE [Sensory-motor, Appropriate, Fun, and Easy]. Each subsequent chapter focuses on a particular sensory modality, such as vestibular, proprieceptive, visual, auditory and olfactory and gustatory [smell and taste].

Each chapter starts out with a thumbnail sketch of a child with that particular sensory challenge, then give a brief overview of that sensory dysfunction, including a modality. Each activity lists the appropriate age range, the materials needed, what the child can do, and the sensory benefits that the activity offers. Each chapter is like this, so the teacher or parent can select the chapter that best fits the child and go from there. This is also true for the section on SAFE activities for sensory-related skills, such as motor planning, oral-motor skills, fine-motor skills, and bilateral coordination. At the end there is an appendix which includes a glossary of terms relating to sensory integration, recommended materials, a list of places where materials can be ordered from. This book should have been available yesterday and it is not time for children with autism and related disabilities to have FUN while having a sensory processing therapy and there's not better place to start than this book! A DEFINATE MUST HAVE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally some help for parents!! Great activities., January 25, 2003

By	"andijean" (NY United States) - See all my reviews

If you have a child with sensory issues this book is a must have. I have bought all different types of activity books to help entertain my son. None of them are helpful for a child with sensory issues because they all focus on activities that are hard for him. THIS BOOK IS GREAT!!

The activities are well explained and so do-able in the home. They have been a great stress reliever for our family.
Kranowitz has them organized by category and goes through the benefits and ways to adapt each activity depending on your child's defensiveness. If you have a special needs child you will find this book very helpful.
