Good Read - But Not One Size Fits All

I read this book because I have a 6 year old child who originally had been diagnosed a few years ago with a learning disability but they weren't sure what it was. She didn't fit all the criteria for autism, but clearly was on the spectrum at some level.

When I bought this book - I was at the point of really trying to learn more about my child because many of the things I read on the book jacket were things we were experiencing with her. She had a lot of sensory defenses, that were disrupting her everyday life.

This book seeks to help parents recognize the signs of sensory integration dysfunction, which it does, but my fear is that many parents will read this (as it is highly recommended by developmental pediatricians) and refer it to as a "blueprint" for their child. That is because not much information is known yet about all the different levels of learning and language disabilities out there and parents are desperate for answers.

But what I will also say is that because I read this book - I was armed with the "vocabulary" necessary to show my daughter's child study team that I knew at least some of what I was talking about. So for that reason alone - it is probably worth to own a copy of this book.

Just remember - this is not a one size fits all sort of issue -- so keep searching for more information about where your child lies, and what interventions you should try. This book is not where you should end your quest for information.

The book was a little highlighted and a little bit yellow. But I liked it for the cost and the availability.

The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Integration Dysfunction

Great book well phrased and comprehensive - a good resource for home-school parents, but it still leads me to ask is there still such a thing as a normal child? Further, most of the descriptions fall on what is supposed to be Sensory Integrated standards for a state based education system, and not readiness based as we view home education.

The Out of Sync Child

This was a great book with lot's of information about sensory intergration disorder. It explains about the issues that go along with this problem and was very informative about details about the disease and how to deal with it.

A must Have for Parents

This was one of the first books I bought when our sons were diagnosed with SI and PDD-NOS. I felt it was very informative and really helped me understand exactly ehat they are feeling and going through everyday. I think it is a good one (along with The Out Of Sync Child has fun) to have when you are starting up the SI road along with some others..I reccomend it.

"Difficult." "Picky." "Oversensitive." "Clumsy." "Unpredictable." "Inattentive." Children who have been labeled with words like these may actually be suffering from Sensory Integration Disorder-a very common, but frequently misdiagnosed, condition that can manifest itself in excessively high or low activity levels, problems with motor coordination, oversensitivity or undersensitivity to sensations and movements, and other symptoms. This guide, written by an expert in the field, explains how SI Dysfunction can be confused with ADD, learning disabilities, and other problems, tells how parents can recognize the problem-and offers a drug-free treatment approach for children who need help.
