Editorial Reviews for The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Integration Dysfunction
|
"Difficult." "Picky." "Oversensitive." "Clumsy." "Unpredictable." "Inattentive." Children who have been labeled with words like these may actually be suffering from Sensory Integration Disorder-a very common, but frequently misdiagnosed, condition that can manifest itself in excessively high or low activity levels, problems with motor coordination, oversensitivity or undersensitivity to sensations and movements, and other symptoms. This guide, written by an expert in the field, explains how SI Dysfunction can be confused with ADD, learning disabilities, and other problems, tells how parents can recognize the problem-and offers a drug-free treatment approach for children who need help.

Summary: A must Have for Parents
Comment: This was one of the first books I bought when our sons were diagnosed with SI and PDD-NOS. I felt it was very informative and really helped me understand exactly ehat they are feeling and going through everyday. I think it is a good one (along with The Out Of Sync Child has fun) to have when you are starting up the SI road along with some others..I reccomend it.

Summary: Good Read - But Not One Size Fits All
Comment: I read this book because I have a 6 year old child who originally had been diagnosed a few years ago with a learning disability but they weren't sure what it was. She didn't fit all the criteria for autism, but clearly was on the spectrum at some level.
When I bought this book - I was at the point of really trying to learn more about my child because many of the things I read on the book jacket were things we were experiencing with her. She had a lot of sensory defenses, that were disrupting her everyday life.
This book seeks to help parents recognize the signs of sensory integration dysfunction, which it does, but my fear is that many parents will read this (as it is highly recommended by developmental pediatricians) and refer it to as a "blueprint" for their child. That is because not much information is known yet about all the different levels of learning and language disabilities out there and parents are desperate for answers.
But what I will also say is that because I read this book - I was armed with the "vocabulary" necessary to show my daughter's child study team that I knew at least some of what I was talking about. So for that reason alone - it is probably worth to own a copy of this book.
Just remember - this is not a one size fits all sort of issue -- so keep searching for more information about where your child lies, and what interventions you should try. This book is not where you should end your quest for information.

Summary: review
Comment: This book should be one of the first anyone with a child diagnosed with autism. It is the holy grail of information on sensory issues. It helps you understand your own sensory needs and it can help you relate to your child better whether they have autism or not. A must read

Summary: Scarey Cover
Comment: I just had my two and a half year old son evaluated as having SI. The therapist recommended this book. I found other reviews interesting and was immediately put off by the cover I am looking for whatever positive help I can get. I wish more was known about this condition. Or that I knew of a support group as I don't have any family who live anywhere close around me. My son has an amazing memory and is very lively and outgoing. He also has extreme tantrums and throws things and seemed to get really fustrated so some of the SI checklist definetly applyed and made sense. He also is very keyed into me and I can't even get in the shower or go to the bathroom without him getting upset. Some of what they state didn't seem to fit him though like he crawled and walked early and seemed to have good co-ordination eating with a spoon or fork?
My husband and I definetly need to understand how to try and change or help things in the home situation.
I think it was a bad marketing move to create the cover they did as it creates such a negative reaction.

Summary: The Out of Sinc Child
Comment: This is the best book. I was writing a book about my son who has SI Dysfunction. He is 23 years old now. I was in Barnes and Noble looking for another book when I found this. I was blown away. I never knew there was a book like this. I could have really used this book when Marcus was little. It is so wonderful. I opened it and started reading about my son. My book is called What's Wrong With My Child? Struggling With Sensory Integration Dysfunction. It is only a mother's story of how my child coped with this thing. It is not meant to be a book like Carol Stock Kranowitz's. Her book is wonderful. Anyone who has any questions about their child who has SI Dysfunction. This book is it. Shelly R. Wilson
