This one was infinitely more useful than the first book, The OUt of Sync Child. This one is a collection of games, activities and exercises to address sensory processing challenges. I keep checking it out from the library, better just buy myself one so I can highlight and dogear away. This is a very useful book. I wish I had it when I was still doing pediatric home health. (Retired young) The exercises are almost all possible with stuff you have at home but are not silly or ineffective jus...more
So far LOVING this book and I know it will be a great resource for us. I think it would be a fabulous resource for people just wanting variety in their family activities. It so far reminds me a lot of "The Toddler Busy Book" as far as accessibility with activities. I'm already aching to try a few of them with Lucy because I know she will love them. I feel like I'm getting glasses for a child who couldn't see.
Wonderful for helping me better understand my kids with sensory issues and to see how all of us have different areas that we may be more sensitive in... this is the "workbook" to give you great ideas for sensory activities that you can do at home, we use it for our OT therapy. It's fun for all kids, though!
This awesome books gives lots of good activities for helping your child. It's broken down into categories of SPD (sensory processing disorder). I am forever grateful and thankful to Carol Stock Kranowitz for her work, her research and her book. THANK YOU!!!
Great resource book. I have found that kids of all sorts seek out so many sensory activities naturally. Most of the activities in this book are things my children seek out & do naturally. I like the format of this book in that it is simple & laid out in an easy checklist format and explains what is necessary to know & doesn't have too much extra fluff & stories you don't want to sort through. I also like how different sensory needs are listed out for sensory seekers vs. avoiders, etc. I find I h...more
the ideas in this book are invaluable. they are the thing every parent should have in this day of technology and inactivity.
This book is full of great ideas that any child would like. I love how it is sectioned of by different sensory needs!
Great resource for parents and teachers who work with kids that are not just "like the rest."
An inspiring, giant collection of ideas for fun activities suitable for all kids.

Activities sorted by what sense they target. Practical, little to no-cost ideas.
Most people wouldn’t have any reason to read this book. Although this book is directed to those that have children with sensory issues it has some fun, cheap ideas at keeping your children entertained. One of my favorite was making a plastic bag kite. Use crepe paper and staple it to the bottom of the plastic grocery sack, then use a string to tie the handles together. Make the string long enough that the child can use it to hold their kite with as they run and the wind does the rest. It is so w...more
This book is filled with great activities for helping kids to cope with SID.
Great for parents to understand their SPD child! A must read
When my son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder, I found the lack of information overwhelming, especially on topics such as ways to help my son to better cope with day-to-day activities that were stressful to him. This book gave me hundreds of activities that I could incorporate into my son's daily activities, providing better ways of coping... activities that were a great way to counteract the effects of SPD. Some of the most beneficial and helpful information on helping my son to ...more
Had some helpful ideas for children with all types of SPD.
Lots of good ideas for activities to do with kids.
An excellent resource for parents who are searching for activities for their children with sensory challenges. My son is autistic, but he also has SPD, so I found many of the ideas in this book to be very helpful.
Found this book to be much more useful than the other Out of Sync Child book. This book lists activities to try with children. I was amazed at how most of these activities are activities my children naturally seek out anyways. There were a lot more additional ideas than I have seen in a lot of online lists, etc. I like the simplicity of the list nature of this book and how things are broken down.
I checked this out of the library, but will be buying a copy for myself. This book has so much great information and so many wonderful ideas that I know I will get a lot of use out of it. With winter coming up, I plan to do many of the indoor activities with my sons. Even though one of them does not have sensory processing disorder, I know he will benefit just as much as his brother.
Hallelujah! Some ideas for something I can actually DO to help my child cope. I am looking forward to reading "The Out of Sync Child" as well. I think I will have to buy this one. It has great activities in it that anyone can do with kids from both ends of the spectrum and includes info on Sensory Integration as well. A helpful first read on SI for me in my fact finding mission.
This book is full of creative and manageable play suggestions for children on the autism spectrum and for typically developing children. After borrowing it from the library, I decided to buy a copy of it. It is an excellent resource for structured play for individuals and groups.

this is by far one of the best books I've read to help me help Lola...a must read for families with kids with sensory issues
Separated into chapter by Sensory type. Includes a great chart that allows you to find activities based on a sensory need. Lots of common sense games that we already play - but also lots of new ideas. It was handy for me to be able to search on my son's sensory needs and find a list of quick thing to do.
This is not just for parents of kids with special needs. You won't believe how many great, homemade activities you'll learn about in this book. You could give this book a new title geared toward neurologically typical kids with the same exact content and parents would buy it up like hotcakes...I swear!
great resource book for all parents/educators/anyone working with kids; even if your child is typically progressing, this book has tons of fun, easy to set up activities. I wish I'd had this when my kids were young.
this is great for everyone! Lots of hands on activities for kids of all ages and developmental levels. It really makes the "how-to" of raising a child with sensory processing disorder so much easier.
I read this one to see if it applied to someone I knew and luckily it didn't. Written pretty clearly for people looking to identify if their child suffers from this. Much more useful updated version.
Great activity book. Not just for kids w/ sensory disorders though. You can use w/ typically developing kids or kids w/ delays or various other special needs- great book and resource.
GREAT for both parents of children with sensory issues as well as teachers. Contains many activities that could be used with any children with great success.
