Book Reviews of The Sensory Processing Disorder Answer Book: Practical Answers to the Top 250 Questions Parents Ask (Answer Book)

Book Review: Fabulous Resource!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been teaching almost 12 years and I WISH I had read this book when I was student teaching. What a FANTASTIC resource! Having read this book explains so, so very much. I found it particularly helpful in allowing me to see how some children w/ ADHD may be misdiagnosed when in fact they have SPD. In general, I found it so very easy to read b/c of it's Question and Answer format and the simple layout of the book makes it easy to use as a desk-reference. The author's way of presenting the information is in understandable terms, not medical or psycho-babble! I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who works with children and especially to parents who seek to better understand the SPD world their children live in daily. Very informative, very important and a book I WILL NOT put up on a shelf and periodically dust off. This is one to dog ear, pass on and wear out!

Summary of The Sensory Processing Disorder Answer Book: Practical Answers to the Top 250 Questions Parents Ask (Answer Book)

Q&A
Is there medication for sensory processing disorder? How can occupational therapy help? What advice can I give my child's teacher? Can you "outgrow" sensory processing disorder? How can we make social situations less of an ordeal? What are some therapeutic activities I can do with my child?

It is estimated that more than 10 percent of children deal with some form of sensory processing disorder (SPD), a neurological disorder characterized by the misinterpretation of everyday sensory information, such as touch, sound, and movement. For many children, SPD can lead to academic struggles, behavioral problems, difficulties with coordination, and other issues. The Sensory Processing Disorder Answer Book is a reassuring, authoritative reference, providing sound advice and immediate answers to your most pressing questions about SPD, such as:

  • What is sensory processing?
  • Does SPD affect social skills?
  • Can you see sensory processing difficulties in an infant?
  • What is Sensory Integration Therapy?
  • Is SPD a sign of autism?
  • Are there tests for SPD?
  • How do I get a prescription for occupational therapy?
  • How do I teach my child to understand his sensory needs?

Written in an easy-to-read question and answer format, The Sensory Processing Disorder Answer Book helps you fully understand SPD, conquer your fears, and seek help for your child when necessary.
