Book Review of the Week: Raising a Sensory Smart Child

There are literally hundreds of books on Sensory Processing Disorder now, especially now that it may be recognized as an actually “disorder” in the DSM. But, the book, Raising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Integration Issues is my favorite book about Sensory Integration because it gives practical advice on how to parent a child with SPD.

The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder, Revised Edition deals mainly with the technical issues of Sensory Integration but this book gives a more well rounded look to SPD with solutions to every day problems like brushing teeth and getting the wiggles out. I highly recommend using the two books in tandem and giving them to grandparents as stocking stuffers.
