The groundbreaking book that explains Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)--and presents a drug-free approach that offers hope for parents--now revised and updated.Does your child exhibit...Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to touch or movement? A child with SPD may be a "sensory avoider," withdrawing from touch, refusing to wear certain clothing, avoiding active games--or he may be a "sensory disregarder," needing a jump start to get moving.Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to sounds, sights taste, or smell? She may cover her ears or eyes, be a picky eater, or seem oblivious to sensory cues.Cravings for sensation? The "sensory craver" never gets enough of certain sensations, e.g., messy play, spicy food, noisy action, and perpetual movement.Poor sensory discrimination? She may not sense the difference between objects or experiences--unaware of what she's holding unless she looks, and unable to sense when she's falling or how to catch herself.Unusually high or low activity level? The child may be constantly on the go--wearing out everyone around him--or move slowly and tire easily, showing little interest in the world.Problems with posture or motor coordination? He may slouch, move awkwardly, seem careless or accident-prone.These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Disorder--a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses. The Out-of-Sync Child offers comprehensive, clear information for parents and professionals--and a drug-free treatment approach for children.This revised edition includes new sections on vision and hearing, picky eaters, and coexisting disorders such as autism and Asperger's syndrome, among other topics.From the Trade Paperback edition.

    I read "The Out of Sync Child" over a decade ago, after my daughter was first diagnosed with Dyspraxia. At the time, it helped us to understand how PT could help improve her fine motor skills, but also to accept that she would also have to deal with sensory issues all her life.

    Now that she is a college student, I wish that I had found THIS book back when my daughter entered high school. As she's grown, a 504 helped with issues related to Dysgraphia, but other issues related to the Dyspraxia and accompanying sensory integration problems cropped up. Those issues were exacerbated by younger siblings (one of which is also a sensory kid, but in the opposite sense), and having to cope with large crowds of other students on a daily basis. No wonder her anxiety was through the roof through her entire high school years!

    I have now read this book cover to cover, and handed it off to my daughter to read and keep for reference. It was very helpful to me to hear stories of how other sensory kids/adults felt, and how they have adapted as they have grown. I appreciate all the tips that are provided, and I'm sure my daughter will be going back to this book over and over to look for ideas on how to deal with her issues as situations arise.

    This book really opened my eyes to all of the ways in which sensory issues can make daily life more exhausting and difficult. As an adult with sensory over-responsiveness, I found it extremely helpful to hear about SPD in the context of older, more independent individuals. The stereotype of SPD is the non-communicative problem child and most books on SPD are geared towards parents dealing with young children. I identified with many of the stories in this book, and found some new ideas to incorporate into my daily life as well. The book explains a bit about the physiology of SPD without using overly arcane language, making it accessible and conversational. The chapters on relationships were particularly good and gave me a lot to think about.

    My one criticism of this book is that it does not really address adults with SPD, despite the title. It stops with adolescence, and doesn't exactly explain how people living on their own might face different challenges than teenagers and college students. I sort of felt like it assumes that there is no further development that takes place after adolescence. A future book might cover topics such as dealing with SPD in the midst of a career, raising a family, and looking towards retirement options.

    Excelente libro. Es uno de los poquísimos libros que habla sobre la adolescencia y adultez de las personas diagnosticadas en la niñez con sensory processing disorder. El primer libro habla sobre los bebés y niños y este, la segunda parte habla sobre adolescentes y adultos.
