Hello,
I am pleased to introduce MY
SENSORY BOOK: Working Together to Explore Sensory
Issues and the Big Feelings They Can Cause:
A Workbook for Parents, Professionals and Children,
The book is founded on a belief that we must
look at the child as a whole person rather than
only focus on his or her emotional and behavior
issues.
As a social worker, I became interested in the
relationship between sensory issues and feelings
through my work with children in my private
practice and in schools. As I saw how they were
struggling with their emotions, I came to realize
that many of their emotional struggles were
triggered or aggravated by sensory stimuli that
were distressing to them.
In publishing MY
SENSORY BOOK, it is my hope that a larger
group of children will begin to understand the
relationship between sensory issues and feelings
so that they may have more effective strategies
to manage their emotions. The hands-on worksheets,
pictures and illustrations offer a fun, yet
effective way to explore sensory issues, feelings
and strategies. In addition, the book offers
lots of support and background information for
the adult facilitators, whether parents, teachers,
therapists, social workers, etc.
Based on their new-found knowledge about themselves,
children will walk away with a "toolbox"
of strategies that will assist them in managing
everyday experiences they may have found frustrating
or nearly impossible to manage in the past.
Take care,
Lauren
