Synopsis
Behavioral concerns arise when children's behaviors are bothersome, interfere with their ability to learn or function, or are harmful. Some children act as they do because of their bodies' reactions to sensory input. Inattention, distractibility, fidgeting, acting without thinking, and aggressive or defiant behaviors such as pushing or striking out all may have a sensory cause. This book will unravel the mysteries of why children adopt certain behaviors and learn how to deal with them. In addition to the in-depth descriptions of behavioral analysis and sensory dysfunction, the authors include chapters on temper tantrums, environmental modifications, and sensory diets. Extensive charts, tables, and photos help illustrate the concepts discussed, and a number of reproducible forms and checklists are included.Book Details
