Informative read
After checking this book out at the local library numerous times, I decided to purchase it. I especially like how it compares the different behaviors and gives suggestions as to how to recognize and then how to help overcome some of these challenges.
Just what I needed
When you finally have a resource in your hands that shows a mirror to the child you're trying to help...well, you know what a great feeling that can be. While I could re-read many sections so that I could better understand the deficiencies my child's nervous system has, I came away from this book knowing that I finally have a handbook on his problems. It's a very comprehensive collection of both explanation and resources. I'm telling my whole family to read it.
A must for teachers
This book title was given to me by an OT. Since I knew little about the sensory issues in children I bought it. Was I ever glad I did. It has really helped me deal with the student in my classroom. Plus it has made me aware of possible sensory problems in my future students.
Sensory Understanding!
This book is awesome. It helps you understand sensory issues and how to help with them. I highly reccomed this book!

Can't Say Enough Good Things
This book was recommended to me by my son's occupational therapist. I finally got around to reading it about six months into his therapy. My only regret is that it took me so long! It brought comfort to my husband and I that much of our child's "difficult" behaviors could be explained in such a sensible way. For instance, we never could understand why he would hit other children at daycare when they tried to gently touch his shoulder. Now we realize that light touch actually is painful to him. The quizzes are wonderfully effective tools. They helped us to know what specific things we needed to ask our OT to help him with.
