Wonderful Book about Sensory Issues

[Guest guest]

Hi there!

I just had to share about this great book my kids' Occupational Therapist

recommended -

It's called " Living Sensationally - Understanding Your Senses " by Winnie Dunn.

It's available new and used on Amazon.com. Great practical advice for home,

school, workplace - everyone in the family can learn about their sensory style

and how they relate to each other. I used it with an adult client I have with

Dyspraxia and Sensory Issues today and it was really helpful. I can't wait to

give the test to my kids! :-)

Here's the product description from Amazon:

How do you feel when you bite into a pear...wear a feather boa...stand in a

noisy auditorium...or look for a friend in a crowd? " Living Sensationally "

explains how people's individual sensory patterns affect the way we react to

everything that happens to us throughout the day. Some people will adore the

grainy texture of a pear, while others will shudder at the idea of this texture

in their mouths. Touching a feather boa will be fun and luxurious to some, and

others will bristle at the idea of all those feathers brushing on the skin.

Noisy, busy environments will energize some people, and will overwhelm

others.The author identifies four major sensory types: Seekers; Bystanders;

Avoiders and Sensors. Readers can use the questionnaire to find their own

patterns and the patterns of those around them, and can benefit from practical

sensory ideas for individuals, families and businesses. Armed with the

information in " Living Sensationally " , people will be able to pick just the

right kind of clothing, job and home and know why they are making such choices.

Take Care! Hope others find it helpful too.
