THE SENSORY CHILD GETS ORGANIZED:
Proven Systems for Rigid, Anxious, or Distracted Kids
Touchstone / A Simon & Schuster Trade Paperback
by Carolyn Dalglies
This is the currently the only book that teaches the parents of sensory kids how to organize and empower their children for greater success at home, at school, and in life. I am a librarian and I read every book on sensory issues I could get when I first found out my daughter had sensory issues. This really is a great book that takes a different approach from all the other literature out there.
- 1 in 20 kids have Sensory Processing Disorder.
- 8.6% of kids are diagnosed with AD/HD.
- Anxiety Disorders are diagnosed in as many as 1 in 8 children.
- Currently, 1 in 88 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
- As many of 50% of kids with a diagnosis also live with a co-existing condition
- Most kids receive a sensory or special-needs diagnosis between ages 3 to 10 years.
- Many kids will not be eligible for special services and parents need help supporting day-to-day life at home.
I have a daughter that has sensory processing disorder and were very fortunate that she qualified for state occupational therapy when she was 19 months old. Unfortunately she aged out of the system despite her diagnosis at 3 years old. A child here in Florida starting at 3 can not get OT without qualifying for SP or PT. It is something we deal with every single day. A sensory child lives off routine and this book tells you exactly what you can do to be organized since they both go hand and hand.
Every year, tens of thousands of young children are diagnosed with
disorders that make it difficult for them to absorb the external world.
Parents of sensory kids?like those with sensory processing disorder,
anxiety disorder, AD/HD, autism, bipolar disorder, and OCD?often feel
frustrated and overwhelmed, creating stress in everyday life for the
whole family. Now, with The Sensory Child Gets Organized, there’s help
and hope.As a professional organizer and parent of a sensory child,
Carolyn Dalgliesh knows firsthand the struggles parents face in trying
to bring out the best in their rigid, anxious, or distracted children.
She provides simple, effective solutions that help these kids thrive at
home and in their day-to-day activities, and in this book you?ll learn
how to
- Understand what makes your sensory child tick
- Create
harmonious spaces through sensory organizing- Use structure and routines
to connect with your child- Prepare your child for social and school
experiences- Make travel a successful and fun-filled journey
What makes this book different are there are tons of small steps that can easily be done by any family to make day to day easier for the whole family. I actually think most the steps make perfect sense and I have already put some in place for us since my daughter just started Preschool and it is good to set up a school routine now that she can use for years to come. This is a must have book for any parent that has a child with sensory issues.
