This handbook offers straightforward sensory tools and strategies for parents, teachers, and caregivers to use at home, school, and within the community. It details over 210 common sensory signals children might display, aiming to help adults understand these cues rather than immediately assuming they are behavior-driven. Bonus content, “Sensory in a Nutshell,” provides extra information concisely.
Designed as a practical, user-friendly guide for daily reference, this resource works alongside ASensoryLife.com. Its simple, organized layout allows users to quickly find essential information and implement appropriate sensory strategies on the spot. The focus is on providing immediate, useful support tailored to a child’s sensory needs.
The techniques presented are beneficial for all children, including those with specific diagnoses like SPD, autism spectrum disorders, ADD/ADHD, APD, and developmental disabilities. By explaining the reasons behind behaviors tied to unique sensory processing differences, the handbook encourages respecting these individual needs, which ultimately transforms how adults respond.
