In a book likely to transform how parents manage many of their
child's daily struggles, Drs. Smith and Gouze explain the central
and frequently unrecognized role that sensory processing problems
play in a child's emotional and behavioral difficulties. Practicing
child psychologists, and themselves parents of children with
sensory integration problems, their message is innovative,
practical, and, above all, full of hope.
A child with sensory processing problems overreacts or
underreacts to sensory experiences most of us take in stride. A
busy classroom, new clothes, food smells, sports activities, even
hugs can send such a child spinning out of control. The result can
be heartbreaking: battles over dressing, bathing, schoolwork,
social functions, holidays, and countless other events. In
addition, the authors say, many childhood psychiatric disorders may
have an unidentified sensory component.
Readers Will Learn: The latest scientific knowledge about
sensory integration How to recognize sensory processing problems in
children and evaluate the options for treatment How to prevent
conflicts by viewing the child's world through a "sensory lens"
Strategies for handling sensory integration challenges at home, at
school, and in twenty-first century kid culture
The result: a happier childhood, a more harmonious family, and
a more cooperative classroom. This thoroughly researched, useful,
and compassionate guide will help families start on a new path of
empowerment and success.
