As a physical therapist I found it very helpful but a little basic and repetitive in areas. Review: BEST Sensory Book ever! - Having read all the books in this genre, I'm particualarly impressed with this one written by Lindsey Biel and nancy Peske. The book is PACKED with information and I find myself using it often as a reference. The authors start with understaning your child (and I find this helps understand yourself and family too!). They explain the seven senses in detail and how and why their functioning is important and how their senses alter their behavior. The next section is about working with Occupational Therapists and how YOU can help your child at home, in school and in the community. They go through EVERYTHING; from eating (at home and in restaurants - including special feeding issues!), potty training, the dreaded birthday parties and family get togethers, and much more... How to decorate and make your house more sensory friendly is explored as well as how to advocate for your child in their school. It's seriously a one stop shop book. There is too much info for me to list - it's all in there. The writers are clear and discriptive, making a sometimes difficult subject matter easy to understand and apply to your every day life. A MUST READ section is "Quick Tips for Calming an Overwhelmed Child." Thank you, thank you, thank you for this priceless advise. This book is fabulous! ## Features - Author: Biel, Lindsey.Peske, Nancy. - Publisher: Penguin Books - Pages: 512 - Publication Date: 2009 - Edition: Updated, Expanded ed. - Binding: Paperback - MSRP: 18 - ISBN13: 9780143115342 - ISBN: 0143115340 - Other ISBN: 9781101429365 - Other ISBN Binding: print - Language: en ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #40,609 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #42 in Family Activity #47 in Children & Adolescent's Learning Disorders #78 in Parenting Books on Children with Disabilities | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,281 Reviews | ## Images ![Raising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Processing Issues, Revised and Updated Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WDleXNnSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for parents *by J***N on June 29, 2026* Very good books for someone without a medical background.

This book is fabulous! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book out there for Sensory Processing Disorder *by A***8 on September 26, 2011* This is hands down the best book dealing with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). It has helped my family in so many ways. My now 3-year-old son was diagnosed with SPD a little over a year ago, so I started reading anything I could find about SPD. What I love about this book is it is so easy to read, and the real-life experiences are so real and easy to relate to. Anyone who has ever met my son would be able to recognize him and his "quirks" after reading just the first chapter. I have recommended this book to all his speech therapists and occupational therapists, and the therapists have started recommending the book to the rest of their SPD clients. My son just started a developmental preschool program and I will be buying another copy for his teacher. Integrating a sensory diet into my son's daily routines has helped us more than I thought possible. He is a completely different child when he gets the sensory input he needs in a safe and fun way. His speech and comprehension is drastically improved after heavy physical activity--sometimes we just run from one end of the house to the other--over and over and over. I highly recommend this book. You will learn so much, and you and the SPD person in your life will be so much happier once you realize what kind of input is needed and you are able to provide it--I know we all are! ## Frequently Bought Together - Raising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Processing Issues, Revised and Updated Edition - The Out-of-Sync Child, Third Edition: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Differences (The Out-of-Sync Child Series) - The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, Revised Edition: Activities for Kids with Sensory Processing Disorder (The Out-of-Sync Child Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1274120-raising-a-sensory-smart-child-the-definitive-handbook-for-helping](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1274120-raising-a-sensory-smart-child-the-definitive-handbook-for-helping) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
