Review
Finally a book written in "kid language" to help children with sensory processing disorders understand their senses! -- Advance Magazine for Occupational Therapists, February 21, 2005

What truly makes this book so different is this is a book for your child to read on his own. -- Washington Parent, Spring/Summer

As a music, movement and drama teacher for 25 years, Carol Stock Kranowitz observed many out-of-sync preschoolers. To help them become more competent in their work and play, she began to study sensory integration ("SI") theory. She learned to help identify their needs and to steer them into early intervention.

Customer Reviews

Excellent, excellent, excellent!
As a mother of a child who has SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), I thought that this book was fantastic. My son is 11, and I never really sat down to explain to him what was going on inside his body, and how he processed and integrated his senses. This was such a help, and he loved it. It was the first time that he was so engaged that he would turn to me and say "Mom, that is just like me." I am sending him to school with it for his teachers and aide to read as well. We have known since he was 3 that he had a sensory integration issue, but most of the literature is geared for that age group, and not for the preadolescence age group. It was wonderful to actually read something that not only helped me to understand more, but most importantly, help my son understand how his body works. Carol Stock Kranowitz comes through again.

The Goodenoughs Get In Sync
This is an extremely helpful book for anyone who has a person in their family with a sensory processing disorder. Easy to understand; examples and explanations of "symptoms" and ideas for exercises to help cope with the disorder. Recommended highly.
