Ideas That Work for Children with Sensory Integration Disorders and Their Difficult Behaviors

Put a stop to the mystery of children who demonstrate explosive behaviors by using the practical strategies loaded in this easy-to-read manual! Children who are sensory-sensitive are not trying to be difficult, disobedient, or oppositional. They are desperately trying to make meaning from a bombardment of sensory information that is confusing, exhausting, and frightening. How do you as a teacher decipher the difference between behaviors that might be resulting from sensory problems, emotional difficulties, other disorders, or just plain willful disobedience? And even if you could tell the difference, what do you DO about it?

This book is easy to read, convenient, practical, and loaded with effective strategies that work in all types of classrooms. One hundred ideas for learning center activities, handouts, easy-to-implement accommodations, and modifications for children with sensory problems so that you can make interventions that are lasting and produce positive change as well as make your work with these kids enjoyable, meaningful and peaceful. Great for PreK-8 classroom teachers, special education teachers, school psychologists, specialists, counselors and paraeducators.
