Product Description
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition distressing at least one in twenty children who experience sensations in taste, touch, sound, sight, smell, movement, and body awareness in a vastly different manner from how additional children their ages do. What may be predictable activities for most kids are a daily struggle that may result in social, emotional, or literary problems.
Dr. Lucy Jane Miller, the best-known SPD researcher in the world, brings together a lifetime of study to teach parents and others the signs and symptoms of SPD and its four major subtypes; ways the disorder is diagnosed and treated; sensory strategies for living with the condition; and methods to help SPD kids thrive.

It took me forever to get my book. I didn’t get it until a month after the latest that I should have gotten it. After trying to get my money back and cancelling the order then my book came once it was too late and I had already borrowed it from a name else. This seller seems to be full of excuses.

For all her emphasis on early intervention/ early diagnosis, Ms. Miller offers very small perspective on infants. We have an 8 month ancient with sensory processsing difficulties, but I only establish one helpful sentence in the entire book (regarding dislike of car seats and car rides). I also establish her presentation of the efficacy of OT to some extent evasive. I am a HUGE supporter of OT, but her own data presents inconclusive findings and she fails to be point about it.
16 months later baby is doing very well in every way. I want to plug a book I establish technical but OH SO HELPFUL . Please look up “Sensory Integration and Self Regulation in Infants and Toddlers: Helping Very Young Children Interact With Their Environment.” Hope if you read it you find it as full of insights as I did. Excellent Luck!!!

I was so disappointed in this book. It was just full of endless anecdotes, and really didn’t offer much in the way of useful information. This is such an vital topic, and I do not need touchy-feely superficial sympathy. I want to know how to help my child with concrete information.

This book is a must have! With two kids diagnosed with SPD, one with “symptoms” and being suspicious of needing a diagnosis for myself, I find myself reading everything I can find on the theme. I have read several additional books, articles and resources besides Dr. Miller’s Sensational Kids. This one far exceeds them all, hands down!
It is a fantastic balance of medical and scientific explanations and real life examples of Sensory Processing Disorder. Dr. Miller has done a fantastic job writing this book in a way that clarifies SPD so that the “real” person understands it. She uses everyday terms and language that is simple enough for even an older child to read! My daughter really ongoing understanding why and what her brothers go thru on an everyday basis after reading this book!
It offers knowledge, hope and a breath of fresh air to parents who are raising children with SPD. Dr. Miller has hit the nail on the head with this book, offering parents what they need to know about SPD and what to do when faced with the challenges! If you are considering a book for your library about Sensory Processing Disorder, this is the book to get!

In their book, Sensational Kids, Lucy Jane Miller, the world’s leading researcher of Sensory Processing Disorder and Doris A. Fuller, leader of many wonderful books, give their readers a clear, caring look into the world of SPD.
The first half of the book feels like a huge hug, filled with tales from parents who have sensational kids, including one from my own sensational son. The additional half is dedicated to Lucy’s research – it has something for everyone: parents and PhDs alike.
Sensational Kids is an simple read, considering SPD is a very complex disorder. There are lists of sign/symptoms of SPD, a chart outlining the differences between ADD and SPD (which is very helpful!) and more.
Thanks, Lucy, for adding your voice to your 30+ years of research. We’re all indebted to you for your never-ending committment to our sensational kids.
And thanks for your passionate support of SPD-Parent Relations, your KID Foundation’s quickly growing network of sensory support groups. To find an SPD-PC support group in your area, visit http://www.spdnetwork.org.
Buy the book. Absorb it. Experience its hug.
