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

with school & learning-related skills. She can be contacted at 301-712-9015 ext. 1028 or kbeins@otc-frederick.com, www.otc-frederick.com.
