Website Resource for Parents



Website Resource for Parents
By Kelly Beins, OT/RL



This website is VERY parent friendly and has a great resource for working with the schools: 


The website is the online link to the book: “Raising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Processing Issues.” An excerpt from the website:    

“We all learn through our senses. Sensory processing is how we transform sensory information from within our own bodies and the external environment into messages we can act on. Sensory issues affect all kinds of people—from those with developmental delays, attention and learning problems, autistic spectrum disorders and other diagnoses to those without any other issues.” 

The website is a wealth of information and resources for parents of kids who struggle with sensor processing challenges including, practical tips they can implement at home and school, books, activity ideas, and links to other helpful websites.  It is the first online resource I now give to parents.  There is also a video on my facebook page by this same author/OT about how to be sensory smart in sending our children back to school: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFV6TvJYnoU.

Kelly is available for assessments and consultations to kids and families who might be struggling with school & learning-related skills. She can be contacted at 301-712-9015 ext. 1028 or kbeins@otc-frederick.com, www.otc-frederick.com
