Description

A child with sensory processing problems overracts or underreacts to sensory experiences most of us take in stride. The result can be battles over dressing, bathing, schoolwork, social functions, holidays, and other events. Drs. Smith and Gouze explain the 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 practical and full of hope. Readers will learn: • How to recognize sensory processing problems and evaluate treatment options. • How to view the child’s world through “sensory lens.” • Strategies for handling sensory challenges at home, at school, and in 21st-century kid culture. The result: a happier childhood, a more harmonious family, and a more cooperative classroom.
