New Guide Published For Children With Sensory Integration Dysfunction
Crestport Press releases a new guide for parents of children with sensory integration dysfunction entitled, "Sensory Integration: Answers for Parents."
SANTA ROSA, CA (PRWEB) October 8, 2004 – When our children find sensory information confusing, overwhelming or distorted, they are likely to have difficulty paying attention, learning, planning, and doing things in a skilled way. Many parents who have been confused, afraid, or frustrated by perplexing behaviors or difficulties in their children begin to feel a glimpse of hope when they first hear about sensory integration concepts.
To aid parents of children who may have sensory processing difficulties, and the health care professionals trained in sensory integration testing and therapy, Crestport Press announces the release of a 16-page guide, "Sensory Integration: Answers for Parents." Written by Gina Geppert Coleman, Zoe Mailloux, and Susanne Smith Roley, all of whom are affiliated with The Pediatric Therapy Network, this guide answers the following questions:
-What is sensory integration?
-What is sensory integration dysfunction?
-Does your child show some signs of sensory integration dysfunction?
-How are sensory integration disorders assessed?
-Is help available for children who have sensory integration dysfunction?
-What can parents do to help?
Highlighted in the guide is a checklist of behavior parents can review when considering having their child evaluated by a trained professional. This checklist includes questions relating to “overly sensitive or unusual reactions to sensation,” “difficulty in learning and planning motor skills,” and more.
The guide closes with an essay entitled “On Helping Children Help Themselves,” written by the pioneer who synthesized the theory of sensory integration, the late Dr. A. Jean Ayres.
