Raise a child well
With a granddaughter diagnosed on the Spectrum' as grandparents we got on the case and sought several books to help us nderstand how we could be of any assistance. This book is describe as "the definitive handbook". Whether or not that flame can be substantiated is another matter. What I would say it certainly is a help to those who have such a child in their lives. I recommend this book.

Excellent for parents and OTs new to sensory processing
Fabulous book. I'm an independent paediatric OT. Im contacted by so many mum's who have no access to an OT who has specialist experience in sensory processing issues. Although the section on finding an OT is about the system in the USA the book is jam packed with information and advice for everyday issues. Lyndsay Beil's books are a great resource.

Very poor quality of finish
This is stretching the notion of paperback to no cover worth a mention. The reading is interesting, but doubt the book will last long before falling apart.

Good for parents
Very good books for someone without a medical background. As a physical therapist I found it very helpful but a little basic and repetitive in areas.

Very informative
I don't know what my partner would of done if she did not read this book. It helped us understand our child's needs much more than we realised! A must buy!
