An Eyeopener

This book was recommended to me by a person at Child Find during a screening process to see if I could find help for my grandson. Having already raised 3 children, I felt experienced as a parent, but this child was acting out in ways I had never encountered before. After almost 2 years of enduring physical and emotional battering from him, I sought the help of professionals. Once I read this book, it was like his world opened to me. Since I was his daycare, I needed all the information I could get. He is finally doing well in school and at home. This book helped understand what would work for him and what wouldn't - and why! I am so glad I bought this book!

Good explanation but little help with what to actually do.

This book was very good with the explanation. It was sometimes hard to follow even with a science BS degree. Although it did a good job of explaining the potential areas of the disorder, it did little to actually help you learn to teach your child to deal with the disorder. If that is what you are looking for, then the sequel to this book is a much better investment.

worth reading

I bought this book when my son was diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder. It explained his diagnosis and also provided me with ideas to help him regulate himself better on a situation-situation basis. Now I am able to recognize that his behavior provides clues as to what he actually needs, whether its calming down, or stimulation. The reading is a bit dry, but there are symptom checklists to help identify where the child's sensory needs lie. The checklists are also wonderful when seeking the diagnosis.

every parent should read

It's amazing how many behaviors are characteristics of 'sensory processing disorder'!This book lists behaviors and their causes, how to get help, and what type of treatment to expect. It has hypothetical case studies, contrasts with other disorders with similar symptoms, and questions for evaluation. The disorder is little known but very widespread. It's important that parents -- and other adults -- be aware of its existence and that help is available -- and that life only gets harder and harer without help! That's why I'm talking about it to all my friends. I really think every parent and educator should read this book.

NEWLY REVISED AND UPDATED

The Out-of-Sync Child broke new ground by identifying Sensory Processing Disorder, a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses. This newly revised edition features additional information from recent research on vision and hearing deficits, motor skill problems, nutrition and picky eaters, ADHA, autism, and other related disorders.
