• thank you for understanding my child!  May 5, 2006 (12 of 13 found this helpful)

  This book is a must for parents that have experienced daily challanges that few discuss. I appreciate the easy directions and the equipment I already have on hand that is called for. My son used to take flour and pour it on everything for a 'snow day'!Little did I realized what he needed. Thank you Bonnie , for your time spent in understanding the sensory needs of so many and equiping me , as a parent to help my son.

• Good Resource for ideas on Sensory Integration  Oct 30, 2007 (3 of 3 found this helpful)

  I have found this book handy for coming up with new ideas for a "sensory diet" for my son. Most of the materials are easy to find if you don't already have them around the home. I recommend it for parents who are their child's primary "therapist." Does not replace a good occupational therapist, but I consult with one and once I learned about my son's sensory profile, we picked some activities together that would be helpful.

• Fun book with lots of great ideas for sensory activities  Mar 22, 2009 (2 of 2 found this helpful)

  I love this book! It is filled with simple, easy activities to engage your child's senses. The directions for each activity are very straight-forward and include helpful hints to save on cleanup and mess. While this is an invaluable resource for a parent or teacher of children with sensory issues, the activities are fun and would appeal to most kids. Another great thing about the book is that it groups together familiar songs and games when appropriate to stimulate a sense, such as movement or touch. Ms. Arwine includes stories and anecdotes about children with sensory issues to illustrate ways the activities can aid such children. Great resource!
