The Out-of-Sync Child, 3rd edition: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Differences
Written by Carol Stock Kranowitz, M.A.; Illustrated by T. J. Wylie; Edited by Marian Lizzi

FROM THE BACK COVER:
The groundbreaking book that explains Sensory Processing Differences (SPD)—and presents a drug-free approach that offers hope for parents—now in its 3rd edition.

Does your child exhibit…
Over-responsivity—or under-responsivity—to touch or movement? A child with SPD may be a “sensory avoider,” withdrawing from touch, refusing to wear certain clothing, avoiding active games—or he may be a “sensory straggler,” needing a jump-start to get moving.
Over-responsivity—or under-responsivity—to sounds, sights, taste, or smell? She may cover her ears or eyes, be a picky eater–or seem oblivious to sensory cues.

These are often the first clues to Sensory Processing Differences—a common but frequently misdiagnosed problem in which the central nervous system misinterprets messages from the senses. “The Out-of-Sync Child” offers comprehensive, clear information for parents and professionals—and a drug-free treatment approach for children.

This revised edition includes expanded information on treatments, especially occupational therapy, and on coexisting and “look-alike” disorders such as learning disabilities, ADHD, and autism.
