Description

 – Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Differences

 – 2022 Mom’s Choice Gold Award Winner

  • The ground-breaking book that explains Sensory Processing Difference (SPD) and presents a drug-free approach that offers hope for parents – now revised and updated.

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/she may be a “sensory disregarder” needing a jump start to get moving
  • Over-responsivity – or under-responsivity -to sounds, sights taste or smell? He/she may cover their 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? He/she may not sense the difference between objects or experiences – unaware of what they are holding unless they looks and unable to sense when they are falling or how to catch themselves
  • 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? He may slouch, move awkwardly, seem careless or accident-prone.

These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Difference – 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 and professionals – and a drug-free treatment approach for children.

This revised edition (2022) includes expanded information about SPD “look-alikes” including Learning Disabilities, ADHD and autism; about diagnosis and treatments; and about other topics.

Carol Stock Kranowitz, M.A., has been a preschool teacher for more than 25 years. She has developed an innovative program to screen young children for Sensory Processing Disorder, and writes and speaks regularly about the subject. She has an M.A. in Education and Human Development.
