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.

BRAND NEW! RELEASED JULY 2008!

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.

A book of importance to parents and teachers everywhere, it identifies the traditionally ignored physical causes of inattention. Poor concentration is often seen to be at the centre of conduct and learning problems in children, and often it is viewed as a behavioural problem. First Steps challenges this view, exposing the specific effect of early motor neuron development on the ability to concentrate. Invaluable to those who care for children, this ground-breaking investigation provides a programme of physical exercises that will effectively focus a child's attention. Areas such as sleep, walking and spelling are examined, and links are made with topics such as autism, epilepsy, dyslexia, schizophrenia and chronic fatigue syndrome. A relevant, revelatory book, First Steps shows how carrying out simple exercises for only a few minutes a day can greatly reduce inattention in a child. An essential resource for teachers, it is also a must-read for concerned parents.

- 4 Reports extensive case study findings

- 4 Provides vital strategies for parents and teachers

Twenty-eight years of varied experience has led Roy Anderson to the innovative and exciting conclusions put forward in this book. Following three years in an industrial laboratory, he taught secondary school children in a disadvantaged community and became involved in remedial teaching. This led to posts at a junior school, a Remedial Reading Centre, and a Reading and Language Service. In retirement Roy has helped even more children with his weekly visits to a primary school. His methods continue to help children overcome their learning difficulties.

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.
