Contains many practical and easy activities that are fun for any child, not just "out of sync." Tried several already and found my grandson loved the originality and the use of everyday objects as situations for play.

(Hide Review...)  A must have for parents of children w/autism
Reviewer Permalink
I've had this book for a couple of years and I love it. I've purchased at least twenty books on autism and this is one of the two I have kept. The ideas are practical, involve materials you can buy inexpensively (or you probably already have around the house) and it's fun for ALL kids. My nt daughter enjoys these activities just as much as my ASD son!

(Hide Review...)  Easy and fun activities
Reviewer Permalink
While this book is especially helpful for families with children with sensory processing disorder (SPD), all children will enjoy these creative ideas. The summary of different types of SPD at the beginning is useful to show other family members and friends who want to understand your child better.

(Hide Review...)  Great book so far
Reviewer Permalink
I am just starting to read this book but so far, I love it. I love reading the mother's and therapist's notes. I think they give you such good ideas that come from experience. The activities are clear and resources are always offered.

(Hide Review...)  Great Resource for Parents and Teachers
Reviewer Permalink
The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun is a great resource for parents and teachers. As a teacher of special needs kids, I'm always looking for materials to share with parents, and this one is really meeting the need. Ms. Kranowitz knows her topic. Her ideas for simple, fun activities that teach are easy to follow. This is a book I will use over and over again.

This book is a must have to go along with The Out of Sync Child. It gives you some ideas on how to help your child be a kid despite having sensory issues. Good book for parents of autistic children.

(Hide Review...)  Great Resource
Reviewer Permalink
We got this book right after our son was diagnosed with autism. It is the kind of book that you can constantly refer back to as your child progresses and learns new skills. Our child has really enjoyed participating in the activities. Also, the activities are interesting enough that our other son, who does not have autism, enjoys participating as well. This allows for some great peer interaction. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with a child with sensory integration issues. It is just great!

(Hide Review...)  Very practical solutions
Reviewer Permalink
I have two children with autism and bookcases full of theory on what works best for them. None are as practical and hands on as this book. These are great ideas that don't reguire tons of extra planning and effort. They are fun and they really work. They are also great for ideas for autistic and neurotypical kids to praticipate in together. Most of these ideas would be fun for all kids not just children with sensory processing difficulties.

(Hide Review...)  Just what we needed!!!
Reviewer Permalink
Having a son that has just been diagnosed with autism and feeling helpless, this book is just what we needed. This book helped me play wiith my son in ways that were so helpful to him. The book gave me ideas that made my own creative juices flow and I found myself wanting to make toys instead of purchasing them. And we all know that toys can get very expensive. I think it's a must for parents of autistic children.

(Hide Review...)  Back To Basics
Reviewer Permalink
I think that with technology as it is, we sometimes forget how beneficial basic play can be and how greatly it aides in our child's development.
This is such a great book and is so well organized. Every parent and gradparent/childcare giver of children should have this book, Sensory issues or not!
