The Out-Of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder by Carol Kranowitz
3.0
While I thought this book contained a lot of helpful information in a lay language that is very accessible, this book did not really do what I wanted it to do for me.
The problem is that after SPD is carefully described and that I have been able to identify which part of the disorder fits my child, the coping strategies (especially the "sensory diet") did nothing to help me. Everything that is suggested is targeted to underresponsive, underdeveloped children. There is almost nothing for overresponsive, sensory seeking children.
So now I'm here knowing a lot more about my own child (which is a great thing) with no more idea on how to deal with him than when I started the book. I'm gonna have to go find more information elsewhere.
That being said, I give this book a third start because it really did help me understand my child better and this simple awareness will help us in the long term. If any Goodreads member have more resources to recommend, I would be glad to hear them.
