Do you have a child in your early childhood classroom who: Climbs on top of furniture and jumps off? Covers his ears when children are singing? Refuses to touch clay, paint, or sand? Often falls down and skins her knees? Refuses to play on outdoor playground equipment? If so, it is possible the child is having trouble with sensory integration. How can you help children with these problems so they can enjoy learning and grow in positive ways? Sensory Integration helps you identify children who have difficulties with sensory processing, and it offers easy-to-use solutions to support the sensory needs of young children in the preschool classroom. Solutions include adaptations and activities for children with different types of sensory processing disorder. This book has a bonus chapter with instructions for creating low-cost items to help children with sensory issues.
