About the Author
Introduction
Kaveh, 5, was referred to me by his parents as "a difficult and inflexible child," who, if he didn't have everything his way, he would have a meltdown. At first glance and based on his parents' chief complaint, it seemed as though he was an uncooperative child with a difficult temperament and behavioral problems.
Detailed questionnaires and an interview with his parents, however, revealed much more. Getting Kaveh dressed in the mornings was a monumental task that more often than not involved several change of clothes. Kaveh often refused to wear weather-appropriate clothes, cried, complained that his clothes were uncomfortable, and refused to wear socks, certain shoes, gloves, hats, or jackets. His mother reported that she would take Kaveh shopping to buy whatever clothes he would agree to wear. Once they found something he liked, such as a pair of pants, she would buy several pairs of the same pants. However, that approach didn't work all the time.
"What felt comfortable to him last week may not feel comfortable this week," his mother said. This daily morning struggle would set the tone for the rest of the day, resulting in Kaveh being late to school and his mother late to work, feeling frustrated and upset.
In addition, Kaveh was a picky eater, needed a great deal of his parents' help to fall asleep, and didn't like personal hygiene activities such as clipping his nails, washing, and brushing his hair. He had weak muscles, tired easily, and was terrible at sports and physical activities, according to his parents. Following the initial evaluation, Kaveh was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder (SPD).

Now you can identify sensory processing difficulties in children as young as 2 years of age. The new Preschool edition of the popular Sensory Processing Measure lets you take an early look at overall sensory functioning as well as specific vulnerabilities that can affect learning.
8 Functional Areas
Appropriate for 2- to 5-year-olds, the SPM-P measures the same functions as the SPM:
Social Participation
Vision
Hearing
Touch
Body Awareness
Balance and Motion
Planning and Ideas
Total Sensory Systems
Within each sensory system, the SPM-P items also reveal specific problems, including under- and over-responsiveness, sensory-seeking behavior, and perceptual problems. In addition, the items provide information on the senses of taste and smell.
Information That Parents Can Understand
Clinicians are enthusiastic about the SPM-P not only because it generates useful information, but also because it provides that information in a way that parents can understand. Scale names are comprehensible; results are visually summarized; and interpretation is clear-cut. These features make it easier for therapists to explain test results and engage parents in the treatment process.
Seamless Assessment From Preschool Through Age 12
Because the SPM-P is based on the same scale structure and theory as the SPM, you can monitor a child's sensory development from preschool all the way through age 12. This kind of continuity is important when you're treating children who require long-term follow-up.
Response to Intervention (RTI) and Early Intervention
Both the SPM and SPM-P support the core principles of RTI and can be used for evidence-based practice, scientifically based research, differentiated instruction, and progress monitoring.
SPM Workshops
Diana Henry is running a one day workshop in Australia in Sydney, February 2011 on the sensory processing measure (SPM) and the NEW Preschool version (SPM-P).

BRAND NEW! Just released. First shipment just arrived!
Children with sensory and cognitive difficulties can struggle to interact with their peers, be easily distracted, and have problems coping with change. Fuzzy Buzzy Groups for Children with Developmental and Sensory Processing Difficulties has been devised to address the needs of children with sensory processing difficulties and development delay in specialist and inclusive settings.
This easy-to-follow resource will enable professionals to engage with children in a relaxed and fun way that explores sensory experiences. It contains everything you need to run a Fuzzy Buzzy group: from advice for choosing sensory food and drink and criteria for selecting suitable children, to tips for involving parents in the group and sourcing sensory materials. The authors guide you step-by-step through how to carry out a session, and include photocopiable forms and checklists as well as a sing-along CD containing music to use with the group. This resource will help children not just to explore sensory experiences, but also to learn to share, take turns, listen, interact with their peers and improve their self-esteem.
The eight-session programme is ideally suited to children aged 2-5, although this can be adapted to suit individual needs, and is perfect for early years' practitioners, teachers, teaching assistants, family respite carers and other professionals working with young children.

Hyperactive children may have a sensory integration problem that makes it difficult for them to select and respond appropriately to the everyday stimuli or events in their environment. For example, if they have a "filtering" problem, they may not know whether it is more important to pay attention to the teacher’s voice or to the sounds of an airplane, the door closing or a chirping bird outside.
This book, written for parents and teachers, provides sensory integration techniques that can be used immediately to help hyperactive children develop more integrated behaviour. As children begin to function in a more appropriate way with the help of this approach, their self esteem improves, which helps in all areas of their life.
It is an easy to read, easy to understand book, with easy to implement tips through out the book. A parent questionnaire helps parents identify if particular sensory areas (eg touch, hearing etc) may be impacting their children’s behaviour.

People with severe autism experience the sensory information they receive from the world completely differently to those not on the spectrum. They feel cut off, overwhelmed and and retreat into a world of their own. Their behaviour can become very distressed. This handbook shows how we can engage with people who are non-verbal or semi-verbal and sometimes even those who have speech but lose the power to process this when they are in crisis. We can help them to make sense of the world. With illustrations, case examples and a wide range of tried-and-tested techniques, this is a practical nuts-and-bolts guide to using Intensive Interaction and Sensory Integration and taking steps to reduce environmental factors that cause the person with autism distress. It provides indispensable tools for parents, carers and other professionals supporting people with severe autism and other learning disabilities.

Practicing yoga involves being calm and focussed and having heightened awareness of the body’s functions and movements. For children with sensory processing needs – who either have low sensory thresholds and are overwhelmed by sensory stimulation, or have high thresholds and do not register stimulation – yoga can be hugely beneficial.
This book presents easy-to-follow basic postures and sequences for children of different ages and which can be easily adapted for adults. Nicole Cuomo gives practical advice for how to choose appropriate sequences according to the child’s particular needs and mood, knowing that yoga will be most beneficial when it is fun! She also includes photographs of each posture to supplement her descriptions.
This practical book provides a wealth of ideas for therapists, educators and parents to help their children with sensory processing needs.

Many enjoy listening to the excerpts (first CD), rather than reading the Introductory Booklet. The second CD has fun, playful songs that help children change their engine speeds. These songs do not utilize the engine analogy (actual engine words in the lyrics) as the Test Drive CD does; it provides songs that are coded (arrows pointing up for alerting songs and arrows pointing down for calming songs), thus guiding teachers, parents, and therapists to choose appropriate songs to support self-regulation.

Children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) often have sensory processing difficulties. They may be very sensitive to particular sounds or materials, or unresponsive to injuries most children would find painful. This practical book offers a six-step approach to developing a successful programme to help children cope with sensory input they find overwhelming, and to identify activities they may find relaxing or rewarding. Sue Larkey draws on her experience of working with children with autism to offer more than 30 activities using touch, sound, taste, vision and movement, and gives advice on how to use these activities as opportunities to improve children’s communication skills. She provides detailed photocopiable checklists to assess children’s sensory reactions, sleep patterns, sense of movement and use of eye contact. Parents, occupational therapists and educational professionals will find this workbook to be a rich source of fun ideas for improving sensory processing in autism, and easily adaptable for children with other special needs.

Another Australian release first for Life Skills 4 Kids!
This is the first book on sensory issues written for pre-teens. It is up-beat, humerous, and hands on. Each chapter is stuffed with comics, diagrams and question and answer sections. The Sensory Team Handbook will inspire kids and teens to take charge of their own sensory needs.
Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is one of the underlying conditions in Asperger Syndrome, ADHD, Tourette's Syndrome, and many learning disabilities.
Sensory processing issues are usually first noticed when a child is very young. With adequate intervention and training, most children can get rid of their sensory difficulties. As a result, most professional attention has been paid to children with SPD.
But many kids aren’t even diagnosed until they are in the middle school years. These young people have been struggling for years because of bewildering experiences, mistaken diagnoses, and painful failures. They need help too—and it has to come in a form that respects their independence.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
One of the best ways for children with autism, Asperger's, and sensory processing disorders to learn is through play. Children improve their motor skills, language skills, and social skills by moving their bodies and interacting with their environment. Yet the biggest challenges parents, teachers, and loved ones face with children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing disorders is how to successfully engage them in play.
Pediatric occupational therapist Tara Delaney provides the answer. In 101 Games and Activities for Children with Autism, Asperger's, and Sensory Processing Disorders, she shows you how to teach your children by moving their bodies through play. These interactive games are quick to learn but will provide hours of fun and learning for your child. And many of the games can be played indoors or outdoors, so your child can enjoy them at home, outside, or on field trips.
More than one hundred games that help your child:
make eye-contact, stay focused, and strengthen his or her motor skills
associate words with objects and improve language and numerical skills
learn how to interact with others, how to take turns, and other social skills needed for attending preschool and school

The CD is completely interactive from beginning to end, using call and response sing-a-longs, “Kid Power” chants, full body movement and dancing. Songs to calm and organize are also provided to support regulation for the nervous system biased toward defensiveness.
It’s a great gift for the child with Sensory Integration Dysfunction, Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder / Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity, and other regulatory disorders.

Debbie's pick - a fun CD! In Stock! We always strive to have this in stock.
A great CD for parents, teachers, and therapists, children are sure to be inspired to dance and sing along to the tunes of the guitar. Singer/songwriter Coles Whalen put her vocal talents to work in songs that are effective and a joy to listen to. The funky western sound of "Dancing Cowboy Rodeo" will help enhance children's vestibular and proprioceptive functions while the up-tempo beat of "The Wishy Washy Men" can be used to teach children to keep movements and voices in control as an activity gets faster and faster. The Wiggly Scarecrow helps children understand their uniqueness and builds self-esteem as they learn the lyrics and sing with confidence.

BrainDance by Anne Green Gilbert
In this 85 minute DVD Anne Green Gilbert and her students (toddlers through seniors) demonstrate eight variations of the BrainDance, an exercise that moves through eight fundamental movement patterns that wire the central nervous system in the first year of life. The BrainDance offers benefits such as improved mood, reduced stress, increased alertness and concentration. It can be used at home, at school, or in the office, as well as in the dance studio. Use the BrainDance for brain reorganization, body connectivity/alignment, a centering body/brain warm-up or to wake-up or calm-down. Variations include rhymes with young children, standing, lying down, sitting in chairs, traveling, with partners, and integration with dance concepts. Includes written insert with detailed information about brain development and the rationale behind the BrainDance. Produced by Anne Green Gilbert in 2003, 85 minutes.
“I am a great fan of your BrainDance and use it in the dance classes I teach. The results have been amazing, and I am excited to see how this method continues to help my little dancers as they progress through our program." ~ Heather Overbeck, Director, Principle Dance Studio, Riverside, IL
“Wow, I am really inspired. I love the video! The BrainDance model has worked wonderfully in every setting and with every age group. It's a great framework for teachers with it's endless possibilities, and it is wonderful for children. It helps individual children focus, and I've noticed that it brings the group together so that the class can really 'take off'." ~ Erica Rosenberg, Teaching Artist, New York
