Temple Grandin: "Lots of practical information that teachers can use to help children with Sensory Processing Disorder. I wish my teachers had had this book when I was a child."
Sensory intergration techniques are very helpful for some children with sensory dysfunction. Some children are sensory avoiders, while others are sensory seekers. How do teachers know what techniques to use to address both types of sensory dysfunction? Using the wrong strategy could result in a worsening of the student's behavior! This book will help teachers to make data-driven decisions using a "scientific" rather than a hit-or-miss approach. This practical book will also help educators and parents teach stress management and self-advocacy skills so that kids can better learn to cope with their sensory dysfunction. A chapter is also included on IEP development to address sensory issues. This book is a great resource that uses what research tells us about sensory processing disorder to develop practical strategies for students who struggle with sensory challenges.
