-Descripcion Original:

The groundbreaking book that explains Sensory Processing Differences (SPD)--and presents a drug-free approach that offers hope for parents--now in a newly updated third edition (2022). Does your child exhibit... Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to touch or movement? A child with SPD may be a sensory avoider, withdrawing from touch, refusing to wear certain clothing, avoiding active games--or he may be a sensory straggler, needing a jump start to get moving. Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to sensations of sound, sight, taste, or smell? She may cover her ears or eyes, be a picky eater, or seem oblivious to sensory cues. Cravings for sensation? The sensory craver never gets enough of certain sensations, e.g., messy play, spicy food, noisy action, and perpetual movement. Poor sensory discrimination? The sensory jumbler may not sense the difference between objects or experiences--unaware of what shes holding unless she looks, and unable to sense when shes falling or how to catch herself. Unusually high or low activity level? The child may be constantly on the go--wearing out everyone around him--or move slowly and tire easily, showing little interest in the world. Problems with posture or motor coordination? The sensory slumper may slouch and move awkwardly, and the sensory fumbler may be clumsy or accident-prone. These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Differences--a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses. The Out-of-Sync Child offers comprehensive, clear information for parents, teachers, and professionals--and a drug-free treatment approach for children. This revised edition includes expanded information about SPD look-alikes, including Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and autism; about diagnosis and treatments; and about other topics. Review It is great to see this old favourite book updated ... and I cannot recommend it enough -- Sensory Integration Education Review by Lelanie Brewer, Director of Student Development at Sensory Integration Education The Out-of Sync Child, written by Carol Stock Kranowitz, a teacher with over 25-years of experience, has been an informative and helpful resource for many parents, therapists and educators since the first edition was published in 1998. This third edition, as with previous editions, includes useful suggestions and practical help to parents who have never heard of sensory processing difficulties and who are aware that their children dont quite fit in but are not sure how to help them. This book is not only relevant for parents; it is also for teachers, parents, grandparents, therapists, doctors and anyone else involved in the care of children with sensory processing difficulties. The book is divided into two parts: Part One discusses the characteristics of sensory processing difficulties and includes case study scenarios which help to explain how difficulties with sensory processing can impact on everyday life. In Part Two, intervention options are discussed, and this section also includes ideas for a sensory-enriched life and suggestions for home and the classroom. For this third edition the title has been updated from Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder to Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Differences to align closer to updated terminology in this scientific field as new knowledge evolves. For example, in an upcoming assessment, the Sensory Processing 3-Dimensions Scale (SP3D), the presence of sensory differences will be measured along a continuum, ranging from mild to severe. Differences also refer to the fact that individuals process sensations in their own unique way, which does not necessarily mean ill health. Whilst Chapter 2 in Part One provides useful information on how sensory processing differences can impact on participation of daily activities, Chapter 3 (which is a new
