Sensory Processing 101 Book

Sensory Processing 101 is a full-color book that contains simple explanations, sensory activities for kids, and reproducible resources with tips and strategies all in one place to support children’s sensory needs at home and in the classroom. An index of sensory behaviors guides parents, teachers, and therapists to specific explanations, activities, and tips within the book.

NEVER STRUGGLE TO EXPLAIN “SENSORY” AGAIN

Whether you are a parent, educator, caregiver, or therapist, this easy-to-read guide is your starting point to gain a better understanding of sensory processing and the body’s sensory systems. You may have heard of Sensory Processing Disorder, but this book is designed to help all children – not just those with a sensory disorder. The truth is that supporting healthy sensory processing is an important part of promoting overall health in every child.

BECOME A STRONGER TEACHER AND A MORE “TUNED IN” PARENT

ALL children have unique sensory preferences and needs. When we don’t fully understand sensory processing, we may misinterpret behaviors, labeling children as “naughty” or “spoiled”. When parents and teachers understand the basics of sensory processing, they are more tuned into kids’ basic needs and can use simple strategies to address them at home and in the classroom.
