My Thoughts
With over 30 articles spanning a wide variety of topics within the field of sensory integration, this book provides a window into some of the current research and clinical insights surrounding sensory processing disorder. Of special interest to me was a four-part series, “Learning from Jean Ayres,” which introduces readers to her groundbreaking work as well as explains its relevance for today.
The section on general insights also has some good information on the terminology related to the disorder and on the work being done by the SPD Foundation. Although this book is aimed at professional, I did find it quite interesting to read and am looking forward to sharing it with my son’s occupational therapist.
Note: This is Book #60 of my 2011 Reads (master list here). I received a review copy of this book for free, and all opinions and comments are my own. Insights into Sensory Issues for Professionals is available at Amazon
I'm a mom with Asperger's raising an amazing son with autism, which means I'm basically the case manager/advocate/cheerleader/chauffeur. The rest of the time, you can usually find me with my nose in a book!
