Many
children, especially those with autism-related problems, struggle with
sensory integration - problems in the detection and or processing of environmental
or bodily events. Christian is a 12 year old who has suffered from both
aspects of sensory integration problems since birth. Following his experiences
as a young child, the authors relate Christian's painful reaction to touch
and extreme sensitivity to temperature, noise, taste, and texture. Through
detection, diagnosis, therapy and treatment, this book looks at the battles,
frustrations, and triumphs familiar to those with (or caring for those
with) sensory integration problems. This book offers real solutions, such
as a sensory sensitivity scale, a behavioral rating chart, and a list
of helpful organizations as well as genuine hope of overcoming sensory
integration problems. With much of it written from the perspective of
a child, this richly illustrated book encourages children to work with
adults in overcoming their sensory difficulties. |
