Sensory Processing Explained was written by an Occupational Therapy Assistant and mom of seven children. They use their unique experiences as a parent of children with sensory processing disorder and working in the classroom setting with children of various sensory processing challenges.

This book is three books in one so that you will get exactly what sensory processing information is right for your situation. It was written with easy to understand terms and language so that you can feel confident in explaining your child or student’s sensory processing struggles with parents, family, friends, or co-workers. 

The first handbook digs into what sensory processing is, looking at the difference between meltdowns and tantrums, calming strategies and techniques for a sensory meltdown, and giving an overview of the eight sensory systems and how they affect a child’s behavior.

In the Parent Companion Guide, learn how you can advocate for your child, create a sensory-friendly home, and find sensory tips for everyday life skills like getting dressed, sleep, and grooming. Gain confidence in providing sensory tools and activities for your child and helping them understand their own sensory preferences.

In the Educator Companion Guide, learn when you should be concerned about a student’s sensory challenges and what those challenges could look like in the classroom setting, how to create a sensory-friendly classroom for every student, how to set up a special sensory space in the classroom, and activities and strategies that require minimal tools, space, or time. 

In Sensory Processing Explained, discover how sensory processing affects all children, not just those who struggle with sensory processing challenges or sensory processing disorder and how to support these sensory processing development skills at home and in the classroom.
