Synopsis
This is an accessible, practical guide to sensory integration, a drug-free therapy for hyperactive children. Pioneered at the University of Southern California and the Brain Research Center at UCLA, sensory integration is a treatment based on play that helps children absorb and process information and respond to it appropriately. The therapy overview and practical advice in this book include: descriptions of how our sensory systems work at different stages of development; tips and techniques for helping the hyperactive child (although they are, also, good for any child); and illustrations, case studies and a description of a sensory integration session with a therapist. This non-medical approach can be used in conjunction with, or as a substitute for, traditional drug treatments. When children begin to function better through sensory integration exercises, it raises their self-esteem, which helps in all areas of their lives.
