Re: [sensory integration dysfunction

[Guest guest]

Luke ahs this too - I will tell you it has been virtually eliminated since

changing his diet and doing a varied " sensory diet " daily. The issues do

come back though if we don't do the therapeutic play regularly. The best

investment I ever made was for the book,

The Out of Sync Child Has Fun. Same author as mentioned but it is absolutely

FULL of at-home therapies for this condition, sketches of make-it-yourself

therapy/play tools, everything categorized by area of dysfunction: visual,

balance, touch, taste, everything. I'd check out the first book from your

library, read it, then BUY this one. Indispensable.

Incidentally - I think that every child benefits from this type of therapy

(though we just call it playing). Even if you or your child doesn't have a

diagnosis, check out this book. It is amazing what areas of the brain are

developed and strengthened - even repaired - from old fashioned play!
