| Paperback Description Do you know a child who plays too rough, is uncoordinated, hates being touched, is ultra-sensitive (or unusually insensitive) to noise or sensations of heat and cold? Many pediatricians and other experts are beginning to recognize a link between some of these apparently unrelated behavior patterns. Children with perfectly normal "far senses" (such as sight and hearing) may have, because of a poorly integrated nervous system, serious problems with their "near senses," including touch, balance, and internal muscle sensation. It's called Sensory Integration Dysfunction, or SI. The announcement of yet another new syndrome is bound to raise skeptical eyebrows--and with good reason. (How do we know which child really has SI, and which one just happens to share some of the same symptoms?) Author Carol Stock Kranowitz argues convincingly, however, that for some children SI is a real disorder, and that it is devastating partly because it so often looks like nothing so much as "being difficult." And, whatever the scientific status of SI, Kranowitz carefully details many routines and remedies that will help children--and the parents of children--who exhibit the behaviors described. This book is a must-read for all doctors, pediatricians, and (perhaps especially) childcare workers. --Richard Farr |
| Reviews From Our Customers
The Bible of Sensory Integration! Full of information, easy explanation & great practical examples of different situations! This is a must read for any parent who thinks their child may be suffering from Sensory Integration. It also has a wealth of resources of where to go next if you want or need more help!
Parents of Autistic Children Must Have This Book! My son is 4 and has high functioning autism. This book has helped us more than any books that I have read about autism. So much of my son's developmental problems stem from sensory issues. Being able to read about the different problems that children can have has helped me: 1. Fight my insurance company to get my son occupational therapy, 2. Helped me to explain to the OT what the problems are and 3. Has helped me gear my son's play time to focus on the sensory problems that he has.
This book has some great ideas of games and activities as well. However, I also recommend the book "The Out of Sync Child Has Fun". These books stay with me at all times. I am very generous with my private autism "library" and loan many of my books out. However, I do not loan these books out!
If you need information, ideas, suggestions, answers, read! My son has SID (or now it's called DSI) and this book has been nothing but a life saver. We finally had answers as to why he does what he does, how to cope with it and how to help him help himself. I have given this book to both my mother and mother-inlaw as well as our babysitter to read. All have come back with a greater understanding of our son and how they can interact with him. There is a gerat list of resources at the end of this book which I have used extensively. This book was recommended by our OT. A must read. And it's great for regular kids because all kids have this to a degree. Just some more than others |
