Product Description
NEWLY REVISED AND UPDATED
The Out-of-Sync Child broke new ground by identifying Sensory Processing Disorder, a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses.

 Informative and builds awareness on SI December 6, 2005
44 out of 44 found this review helpful
My child's teacher let me borrow this book after some concerns about some sensory issues he was having. This book clearly lays out senses, their function and better yet examples of normal SI and sensory dysfunction. Although my child is not on the spectrum where he would be considered to have SID, the book provided me with an understanding as to why he seems to be sensory driven in everything he does. With the knowledge from this book, I can now "feed him a better sensory diet" as opposed to continue on with my frustrations. The book also has A TON of resources for those children who may need further evaluations.
 Very Good Resource August 28, 2005
19 out of 21 found this review helpful
I am a behavioral Consultant for children with Autism. I am always looking for good resources to better understand the children that I work with and how I can provide the best help to meet their needs. I previously purchased the companion to this book, The Out of Sync Child Has Fun. I found that it was a great resource for activities and that it provided an overview of different sensory issues. I realized that I needed this book to dive a little deeper into sensory disorders. I think that this has been a great resource for me and I refer it to the parents I work with as well. I also recomend the campanion book as well as I have found some great ideas in it.
Children with SPD disorders December 17, 2006
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This groundbreaking book deals wit the child with Sensory Processing Disorder , a disorder in which children misinterpret the message from their senses to their brain.
The book defines Sensory Processing Disorder , lists the common symptoms , as well as it's possible causes.
It analyses the different types of children with the disorder such as the overresponsive child , the underresponsive child and the sensory-seeking child as well as how to identify these problems.
Lots of case studies.
The second part of the book deals with how to cope with SPD , with lots of practical advice and lots of games and exercises to help the SPD child.
An indispensable guide to parents , teachers , therapists and anyone else with concerns about the 'out of sync' child.
A must Have January 9, 2007
12 out of 18 found this review helpful
I felt so relieved after reading this book. People do not understand what it's like to have a child with sensory issues. These kids are NOT brats, spoiled, getting their own way.. This is a DISORDER and the public needs to be educated to such. I 100% recommend this book to anyone with or without a child with sensory issues. I would have given it 5 stars, I just wish the book had MORE information on dealing with the crisis when they occur. The book is good on information, but only lacking in the moral support area. Still, an excellent read, well worth the value.
A Must Read for ANY parent March 9, 2006
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book is the must-read for every parent, whether their children suffer from sensory integration or not. It is an eye opening look into the way we interpret our surroundings, and has given me information, tools, and hope for my daughter, who suffers severe developmental delays from this disorder. I would highly reccommend this book!
