An OT shares her extensive experience working with children who don't process sensory information properly. Parents learn why some children's sensory systems are over- or under-stimulated and how they can use a sesory diet to calm or awaken sensory receptors to improve their child's daily functioning. It covers:
Terminology
Normal vs. abnormal sensory processing
Evaluation
Assessment tools
Sensory Integration Therapy
Treatment approaches
Establishing & managing a sensory diet
Useful to families of children with a variety of diagnoses, this book also helps readers recognize when a behavior may be due to another condition such as autism or Down syndrome, rather than poor sensory processing.
