What the Experts Say About Sensory Processing 101
"What a practical, reassuring, visually appealing, lovely book! Not just an excellent introductory “101” course on SPD, this is also an “All-in-One” resource book, with its engaging activities and reproducible review pages to slip in your pocket or share with others who care for children with sensory challenges."
Carol Stock Kranowitz, author, The Out-of-Sync Child
"I am really excited about this book because I know it is going to help parents like me. As a mom of three boys, our family has dealt with our share of sensory processing issues. Even though I am a Physical Therapist, I didn't initially identify the cause of the problem which lead to frustration and tantrums. Once we knew what it was and what to do, everything changed for the better."
Holly Homer, MPT, founder of Kids Activities Blog and co-author of 101 Kids Activities that are the Bestest, Funnest Ever!
