Shannon Dudak ，

This is a really excellent， practical guide to inexpensive sensory experiences at home。 The layout is great and organized in an easy to use manual。 I only read the parts that are pertinent to my child， but I will come back to this over and over。 It's a FANTASTIC follow up to the original， and the two books together do a really great job of supporting parents and caregivers。 This is a really excellent， practical guide to inexpensive sensory experiences at home。 The layout is great and organized in an easy to use manual。 I only read the parts that are pertinent to my child， but I will come back to this over and over。 It's a FANTASTIC follow up to the original， and the two books together do a really great job of supporting parents and caregivers。 。。。more

Immeasurably helpful in finding activities and better understanding of the needs of sensory-affected kids。

Sarah ，

Lots of good ideas for activities for kids with SPD。 It would be worth it to go through this again every year or so to explore different age-recommended play。

Carryl Lee ，

An excellent book for kids with SPD but also for any children， since all children have sensory needs and enjoy activities that engage their senses。 Lots of helpful ideas。 Ikea sells lots of inexpensive furniture that works well for SPD kids if you want to find the kind of props recommended -- hammock chairs and the like。

Karla Winick-Ford ，

Excellent resource to share with families and as a resource for educators The author is a seasoned early childhood educator who collected and organized wonderful activities Recommended！！

Cheryl ，

Important activities that are so easy that they are sometimes overlooked。 Great reference book for parents。

Juliana Haught ，

Another book I read years ago， back when my son was first showing definitive signs of struggling with sensory issues。 This is a book recommended by his occupational therapist way back when we were doing therapy， and it not only talks about the types of sensory issues and how they affect children， it gives all sorts of nice activities and games that are both fun and therapeutic at the same time。

I adore this book and have recommended it for years to all parents and caregivers， not just ones caring for kids who have been diagnosed with sensory integration issues。 The activities are awesome for meeting kids' sensory needs and there's a wide range of types to suit any child and situation。 I dragged our old bunk bed mattresses and futon mattress to the back yard by the swing set just to create a "crash pad" after reading that idea in there。 Kids just gravitate towards it （mine and neighborh I adore this book and have recommended it for years to all parents and caregivers， not just ones caring for kids who have been diagnosed with sensory integration issues。 The activities are awesome for meeting kids' sensory needs and there's a wide range of types to suit any child and situation。 I dragged our old bunk bed mattresses and futon mattress to the back yard by the swing set just to create a "crash pad" after reading that idea in there。 Kids just gravitate towards it （mine and neighborhood kids）。 We all have sensory needs and kids do even more so， and this offers so many creative， fun ways to meet them。 There are ideas for kids who need more physical input， who avoid types of sensory input， for inside and out， you name it。 A great resource。 。。。more

Pediatric occupational therapists must have for quick and fun interventions

Colin ，

Fascinating book of activities for children with sensory processing disorders。 As I'm raising a young boy with extreme sensory-seeking behaviors， this book is proving incredibly useful and informative。 I find all of the suggested activities extremely adaptable， too， so we have done variants on many of them。 Fascinating book of activities for children with sensory processing disorders。 As I'm raising a young boy with extreme sensory-seeking behaviors， this book is proving incredibly useful and informative。 I find all of the suggested activities extremely adaptable， too， so we have done variants on many of them。 。。。more

Rhica ，

Lots and lots of activities for any child who is curious about new sensations。 Excellent explanation of each activities uses and alternatives to each project。I will definitely be using this book in my library and home activities。 : D

Sara Staggs ，

Great activities， and if you're new to sensory issues includes some very basic information about different types of issues in each section。 Great activities， and if you're new to sensory issues includes some very basic information about different types of issues in each section。 。。。more

Fishface ，

This was OK， but not as good as EARLY INTERVENTION GAMES。 SA lot of the equipment you need is kind of complicated to organize and there is not a lot of clarity on what you are addressing behaviorally with each game。 Still， it will be useful for many people。

This book was referred to me when it became painfully clear yet another one of my children has sensory processing disorder。 I read the first book， and this is a good follow up。 It is easier to read and scan。 I don't always agree with Kranowitz opinions， but the book does have a lot of ideas。 Some seemed painfully obvious to me， but then again I think my kids are a little more free play in the backyard then a lot of modern kids。 It was organized in a clear way， and had good some good suggestions。 This book was referred to me when it became painfully clear yet another one of my children has sensory processing disorder。 I read the first book， and this is a good follow up。 It is easier to read and scan。 I don't always agree with Kranowitz opinions， but the book does have a lot of ideas。 Some seemed painfully obvious to me， but then again I think my kids are a little more free play in the backyard then a lot of modern kids。 It was organized in a clear way， and had good some good suggestions。 I'll definitely be trying some out。 。。。more

Full of practical activities that would be fun for any child， not just one with sensory processing issues。 I've already incorporated a couple of the activities into our daily routine， just as I was reading the book。 Full of practical activities that would be fun for any child， not just one with sensory processing issues。 I've already incorporated a couple of the activities into our daily routine， just as I was reading the book。 。。。more

This is the book that I've been looking for since my son was diagnosed with SPD。 There are a ton of practical games and activities that can easily be done at home with minimal expenditure。 The activities are broken down by sensory area so you can tailor them to the needs of your kid on any given day。 I strongly recommend this book to any kid with sensory issues or any high energy kid。 This is the book that I've been looking for since my son was diagnosed with SPD。 There are a ton of practical games and activities that can easily be done at home with minimal expenditure。 The activities are broken down by sensory area so you can tailor them to the needs of your kid on any given day。 I strongly recommend this book to any kid with sensory issues or any high energy kid。 。。。more

This book was very helpful when my son first started OT。 The ideas are simple， fun， and most involve things you already have at home。

Jodi Vedra ，

This book is full of wonderful， practical ideas to do with your child！ I would recommend it to any parent of a child diagnosed with sensory processing disorder。 Actually， all children would enjoy and benefit from many of these activities。

Renaleslie ，

Lots of great ideas for any child， not just those with SPD or other diagnoses。

Kristine Lopez ，

A very helpful book for every mother out there！And also for students studying Psychology， like me， it'll be an interesting read！ A very helpful book for every mother out there！And also for students studying Psychology， like me， it'll be an interesting read！ 。。。more

Janine ，

Lots of great ideas， some familiar ones too。 The reference chart in the back is a great tool for picking activities that specifically target a skill area。

Kelly ，

This book is well organized by sensory deficits， and related activities。 The checklists are very helpful， as they are in the first book。 This gives me a lot of ideas for our home program。 I gave it four stars because I found the music and word play ideas outdated and intimidating。 It also includes many activities with peanuts， which I find dangerous especially since many children with SPD， autism， and ADHD have food allergies。

Melissa ，

Gives a lot of ideas for activities that will help your kid with SPD

Marilu ，

I read this right after reading The Out of Sync Child。 There are a lot of great ideas in this book。 I love that the activities are great for all children， but it also helps you figure out which activities would be best for children that crave certain types of input， as well as activities to help an " avoider" with some of their triggers。 I HIGHLY recommend this one！ I read this right after reading The Out of Sync Child。 There are a lot of great ideas in this book。 I love that the activities are great for all children， but it also helps you figure out which activities would be best for children that crave certain types of input， as well as activities to help an " avoider" with some of their triggers。 I HIGHLY recommend this one！ 。。。more

Great reference for helping our sensory-seeking kids cope and thrive。

Renah ，

Tons of great activities for sensory work， and really helped clarify sensory processing disorder concepts for me。

Carrie ，

My boss lent me this book to help with one of the kids I was working with。 I found the book to be helpful。 It makes sense that in a world of video games and virtual reality， children do not have comfort/control with their own bodies。 However， it seemed like every activity needed more and different stuff that I did not have。 I even looked in the appendix and could not figure out where I was supposed to get some of the items。
