That was not a very helpful article at all!!! It basically said, and this is a very rough summary, “When a child is acting out of sensory issues, traditional punishments and rewards don’t work…buy these books to find out what does work.”
Any parent with a sensory child will know that!!!
Agreed, it is not very helpful.
And most of us can’t afford to blow money on a bunch of books.
You can easily find these books at your local library as well.
