Positively Sensory! combines behavioral strategies with sensory processing information in order to help parents create healthy, happy learning situations and forward progress. Whether a child is learning to make a friend, learning to respond when spoken to, learning to dress, or learning academic information in a classroom, his brain synthesizes pieces of information brought in by different sensory systems, processes that information, and responds. Those responses are shaped by experience. Thoughtful, purposeful sensory opportunities can be a powerful key in providing experiences that are healing and set up positive growth and learning for a child.
Positively Sensory! is written to parents because a parent holds the most power to influence a child and shape his behavior for success. No person has greater potential for positive impact in a child’s life than a parent or caregiver. Positively Sensory! can also be used by professionals in their individual work with children or as a tool in partnering with parents to create lasting change and progress.
Positively Sensory! will help parents and professionals identify the gift a child has to give, identify how a child learns best, identify how to help a child develop learning flexibility, and recognize the sensory barriers a child has and respect them. Developing a strong sensory processing and behavioral framework can help parents and professionals problem solve in even the toughest of situations. Engaging in positive, developmentally stimulating, and purposeful activities can be a game changer in the life of a child and help a child blossom to his full potential.
