Written by an occupational therapist, this picture book is a must-have for any child with sensory processing disorder. Michele Griffin is a pediatric occupational therapist. While working as a therapist, she was intrigued by the children who were 'extra-sensitive'. They often demonstrated strong dislikes for haircuts, loud noises, tags in shirts, seams on socks and food with lumps. Sensitive children, or those with sensory issues, are challenging for parents to rear These children and their parents are the inspiration for this book, which helps foster communication, tolerance and understanding between parent and child. |
