Sensory Secrets: How to Jump-Start Learning in Children: By: Catherine
Chemin Schneider, O.T.R
The author is an occupational therapist with over
30 years of experience. She has written a very parent and teacher
friendly book to help explain the connection between sensory motor
processing/sensory integration and learning. The author explains
the need for movement and sensory stimulation in order to facilitate
the learning process and provides several strategies for accomplishing
this at home and in school.
This is Asperger Syndrome by: Elisa Gagnon and Brenda
Smith Myles.
Through
brief vignettes, accompanied by cartoon-like drawings, This Is Asperger
Syndrome introduces siblings, peers and other children to the everyday
challenges faced by children with Asperger Syndrome at home or at
school. Written for children ages 6-12, the book may be read independently
by older children and serves as an excellent springboard for further
discussion led by parents and teachers. A special section, “Notes
on Asperger Syndrome,” at the end of the book summarizes the
major characteristics of Asperger Syndrome.
