RAISING A SENSORY SMART CHILD
The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Integration Issues
by Lindsey Biel, M.A., OTR/L and Nancy Peske, Foreword by Temple Grandin

"A must read for all parents who have children with sensory integration issues."
- Larry Silver, M.D., author of The Misunderstood Child

"A wonderful combination of research information and practical strategies."
- Mary Sheedy Kurcinka, author of Raising a Spirited Child

"Both parents and teachers will find a wealth of insight and advice on helping our wonderful - though sometimes challenging - kids."
- Patty Romanowski Bashe, MSEd., Executive Director, The David Center, coauthor of The Oasis Guide to Asperger Syndrome

Long thought to be a disorder that affects only autistic children, and a disorder that is often mistaken for ADHD, sensory integration dysfunction is finally being recognized as a separate condition. For parents of children with sensory integration issues, Lindsey Biel, M.A., OTR/L and Nancy Peske have written a groundbreaking book that will be an invaluable resource for parents and teachers alike. Because each child has a unique experience, this book helps parents to understand what their child is going through: how the seven (yes, seven!) senses work, and how to find an occupational therapist (OT) who is trained and experienced in helping kids with SI dysfunction who can actually help retrain the child's nervous system to work more adaptively. The book also addresses everyday behaviors from dealing with clothing sensitivities, to getting children the deep pressure against their skin and in their joints that will calm them down, to helping their auditory-sensitive child handle background noise, whether at home, at school, or in the neighborhood. After reading, RAISING A SENSORY SMART CHILD parents and professionals will be able to spot and address common developmental delays. Biel and Peske provide guidance on how to work together as a team to help kids with sensory issues cope with the confusing sensations coming from within and outside of their bodies.
