Because so many people have vital roles to play in helping infants
and young children with sensory processing difficulties interact
with their environments and the significant people and
relationships in them, authors, Susan A. Stallings-Sahler and
Gilbert M. Foley, have written this book for a broad
multidisciplinary audience of service providers, researchers, and
policymakers serving infants, young children, and their families.
Highlighting the intersection of sensory processing, sensory
processing disorders, and infant and early childhood mental health
(IECMH), the book is targeted to a wide array of disciplines from
the therapeutic, educational, medical, and psychosocial fields.
Practitioners who work in a variety of settings will find it
meaningful - neonatal intensive care follow-up programs, early
intervention programs, preschools, developmental and mental health
clinics, IECMH programs, child life programs, social service
agencies, and child care centres. Parents and family members may
also find the contents helpful in understanding and caring for
their child with sensory, self-regulatory, and social-emotional
challenges in ways that will also enhance their relationships and
family life.This book is designed to help readers achieve the
following goals: Understand the sensory development of infants and
young children as well as how the tapestry of sensory processing,
self-regulation, and social-emotional capacities become interwoven
as development and the child's personality emerge. Understand and
appreciate how sensory processing and self-regulation are
intimately linked and contribute to social-emotional development
and the broader construct of IECMH and psychopathology. Explore the
fundamental neurodevelopmental and neurophysiological underpinnings
of sensory processing and its influence on attention, movement,
self-regulation, attachment, and IECMH as well as areas where
dysfunction may occur. Learn about assessment and intervention
approaches designed to promote young children's self-regulation,
adaptive behaviour, social-emotional development, and mental health
through enriching interactions and goodness-of-fit with the
physical, relational, and social world. Become aware of new
scientific evidence, directions, and outstanding questions in both
basic and applied research relevant to this aspect of practice with
this unique population.
