What others are saying about Sensory Processing 101

"This is a great resource for parents. As I read the book I had so many "ah-ha" moments where some of the things that my child did made a little more sense. This is a great go-to resource for a parent who either thinks their child has a sensory processing difficulty or was recently given a diagnosis. TONS of practical advice."

Rasilla

Parent / Amazon Reviewer

"I work in a Pre school with Children of all abilities , and I share this book with my fellow teachers.. When you are in the middle of a sensory meltdown, it is easy to reference and at a quick glance get an idea of what you could do to help the child calm down and cope.. and then at a quiet time, its a great book to look through and strategize for when things may go haywire."

N. Slaught

Teacher / Amazon Reviewer

"I am very impressed with the quality of this book! I appreciate how it presents each sensory system from the perspective of therapists, as well through the eyes of parents and educators. The beautiful photography, easy to use format, and fun activities make this a must have resource for any parent or educator, not just those of children with sensory processing difficulties."
