New Frontiers in Sensory Integration (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

This is a book that speaks to educational professionals, parents, healthcare providers and a general readership about how sensory integration difficulties, including autism, interfere with learning. The book provides practical, hands-on applications that teachers, aides, parents, therapists and family members can use to help young people with these difficulties learn and engage socially. The book is based, in part, on the clinical studies the author has conducted as well as her experience. There are numerous case studies in the book. The manuscript has been reviewed in its entirety by experts in the field.New Frontiers in Sensory Integration focuses on providing support for children with autism and sensory needs though the resources contained here can be used effectively for all children. The causes behind what we call Sensory Processing Disorders remain unknown despite ongoing research. This is because causation is likely a mixed bag of genetic, epigenetic, environmental, neurodevelopmental and cultural factors. The important question that this book addresses is what we as parents, therapists, educators and care-providers can do about this growing epidemic in an empowered and sustainable way, no matter the causation.
