Best book going.

I am also an Occupational Therapist. I bought this book and now recommend it to all of my parents who come to me for help with thier children's sensory problems. It is a wonderful resource for parents and people who want to know what sensory processing is, what to do about it and what to do about all of the other problems the kids have because of their sensory issues. It is a must buy.

Excellent Resource for Parents and Therapists!!

This is a great resource, written in parent friendly terms by a parent and an OT! Lots of great ideas for treatment and everyday living with a child with sensory issues. This is much better than the Out of Sync Child especially since it is written by a mom and an OT together- the best to talk about the subject. I have referred it to many of my clients and friends and it has been helpful to all!!

We've been to a neuropsychologist

I've never left a review before, but wanted to do so after reading another review that basically called sensory integration disorder a made-up quack diagnosis. I have taken my 4 year old to a pediatric neurologist, a pediatric neuropsychologist, and 2 occupational therapists. ALL of them diagnosed him with sensory integation disorder. This is a real condition, and needs to be addressed and treated. After 5 months in OT, we are seeing huge improvements. Experts do diagnose SID, and OT does work. There is little out there in terms of reading resources, and I'm happy to have any information. After 3 years of thinking my son was a bit quirky, it's a blessing to read that he is not alone.

Coping parent

After reading multiple books on SPD, I found this one the most helpful in everyday life. Out of Sync Child was great for an explanation, as is this book, but Raising.... takes the explanation and provides everyday senarios for coping. I don't recommend it's use for diagnosis -- obviously seek professional guidance -- but for those of us with kids and the diagnosis of SPD, this book provides empathy, understanding, as well as the much needed coping strategies for helping parents feel "normal" in their "amazingly unpredictable" lives.

Wonderful Help for working with my SID Child!

I really have enjoyed this book and keep it close by to refer to often. It is written very clear and gave me an even better understanding of where my daughter is coming from with her sensory intake and needs.
Thanks so much to the authors of this book!
