Development of Sensory Intelligence in Children. How to Help Children with Autism, ADHD, and Speech Delay Cope with Sensory Processing Disorders

Imagine that your senses are not working effectively. Bright light gives you a headache, salad in your hands feels slippery and unpleasant, the smell of garlic makes you nauseous. You hit your head on the cupboard, trip over the cat, and knock a plate of salad onto the floor. By the time dinner is served, you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown and yelling at everyone. What if such a catastrophe happened every evening?
Children with sensory issues may feel this way. There is no guarantee that the sensory information they deal with is accurate. 

What this book is useful for:
- you will learn to recognize sensory processing disorders;
- get tips on how to help your child cope with sensitivity to noise, smells, and textures, as well as daily activities: brushing teeth, dressing, hairstyling and hair cutting, visiting crowded places, picky eating, and sleep problems;
- discover how gadgets and sensory toys can be helpful;
- help your child cope with difficulties and endure unpleasant stimuli at home, school, and in society.

The authors — an occupational therapist with thirty years of experience and the mother of a son with sensory processing issues — have written a book that has helped thousands of parents of special needs children.
