Summary: My Daughter is a Toe Walker
Comment: We had reason to believe from early on that our youngest had sensory issues, so I did a lot of shopping on ParentsDigest in hopes of finding a book that explained the issues, as well as offering me hope when we were so shocked with the possible effects of sensory processing disorder. This book offers both information, and hope.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Extremely helpful and educational
Comment: I am a parent of a son with SPD. I have read other books on the subject, but this one provides so much practical information. I have recommended it to many other parents and professionals.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful book
Comment: Great book. Weather you have a child with SPD, ADHD, autism. It touches on them all!!!!! Written in plain terms not alot of medical mumbo jumbo!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Must Read for Parents and Teachers
Comment: We have a grandchild with sensory integration disorder. This disorder has only recently been defined and not a lot of studies have been done. We did not understand what it was and why our grandchild was acting the way he did until reading this book. The authors do a wonderful job of not only describing behaviors and probable causes but have many practical and alternate methods for parents and teachers to help the child. This book is written by professionals that also have children with sensory issues. Their style is descriptive and useful; not like an academic text. Most parents, teachers and Occipational Therapists do not yet seem to have a good understanding of this disorder and the many ways that they could help. It should be required reading.

Summary: Not what I was looking for
Comment: I wanted a book that would give my child tools to live in this world. However, this book talks about how to make this world conform to my child. What happens when my child is in an stimulating environment and Mom is not around? I was looking for - wear earplugs while doing homework - something practical I can use. I can't always make my other two children be quiet for long periods. This world is a distraction; my child must cope with reality.. somehow or not be successful in accomplishing his hopes and dreams.

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition affecting at least one in twenty children who experience sensations in taste, touch, sound, sight, smell, movement, and body awareness in a vastly different manner from how other children their ages do. What may be typical activities for most kids are a daily struggle that may result in social, emotional, or academic problems.
Dr. Lucy Jane Miller, the best-known SPD researcher in the world, brings together a lifetime of study to teach parents and others the signs and symptoms of SPD and its four major subtypes; ways the disorder is diagnosed and treated; sensory strategies for living with the condition; and methods to help SPD kids thrive.
