The groundbreaking book that explains Sensory Processing Difference (SPD)--and presents a drug-free approach that offers hope for parents--now revised and updated.


Does your child exhibit...

Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to touch or movement? A child with SPD may be a "sensory avoider," withdrawing from touch, refusing to wear certain clothing, avoiding active games--or he may be a "sensory disregarder," needing a jump start to get moving.

Over-responsivity--or under-responsivity--to sounds, sights taste, or smell? She may cover her ears or eyes, be a picky eater, or seem oblivious to sensory cues.

Cravings for sensation? The "sensory craver" never gets enough of certain sensations, e.g., messy play, spicy food, noisy action, and perpetual movement.

Poor sensory discrimination? She may not sense the difference between objects or experiences--unaware of what she's holding unless she looks, and unable to sense when she's falling or how to catch herself.

Unusually high or low activity level? The child may be constantly on the go--wearing out everyone around him--or move slowly and tire easily, showing little interest in the world.

Problems with posture or motor coordination? He may slouch, move awkwardly, seem careless or accident-prone.

These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Difference--a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses. The Out-of-Sync Child offers comprehensive, clear information for parents and professionals--and a drug-free treatment approach for children.

This revised edition includes expanded information about SPD “look-alikes,” including Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and autism; about diagnosis and treatments; and about other topics.

Critic reviews

“Once again, Carol brings her warmth, wisdom, and compassion to families, teachers, and others yearning to understand and manage sensory processing difficulties. This fresh and lively updated edition brings you even more insights and advice you can use to help your child, student, or even yourself to play more, learn more, and thrive to the utmost.” --Lindsey Biel, M.A., OTR/L, Co-author, Raising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Processing Issues

"The Out-of-Sync Child has become the parents' bible to [Sensory Processing Disorder]." --The New York Times

“This book is great! It is a real contribution to the parents of the many children who are so hard to understand. It will let parents off the hook of blaming themselves… and will help them get on to the job of addressing the child’s underlying difficulties.” --T. Berry Brazelton, MD, founder, Brazelton Foundation, Children’s Hospital, Boston

Como padre de un niño con autismo este libro me pareció una obra de gran valor; porque ahonda sobre un aspecto que constituye una parte muy importante del autismo: los problemas sensoriales.

Hace tiempo compré el libro en físico y me tomó mucho tiempo terminar de leerlo porque la autora utiliza un vocabulario muy variado, y yo estoy aprendiendo el idioma inglés. Pero ahora, mientras escuchaba la obra en este formato sentí que valió la pena tanto trabajo. Quiero volver a escucharlo muchas veces más. El contenido de este libro es oro molido para alguien en mi situación.

Un libro que vale la pena leer (o escuchar).

I wish I had read this earlier. I wish nursery schools did a better job at helping us parents recognize the signs and suggest early interventions. I feel like they are so scared to tell us something is wrong but what is really wrong is not sharing with us what can be done to help the child.

I wish I had met this book earlier

This one took me a while to get through it, with starts and stops along the way, couple trips back few pages, here and there.

Overall, it was brilliant!
