Book description
For kids living with Sensory Integration Disorder, the world can be a
scary place, full of potentially stressful experiences. Kids with
Sensory Integration Disorder can howl in discomfort over the feel of a
shirt tag or a sock seam on bare skin. They may find the sound of a
whisper to be as loud and frightening as a siren, and may perceive the
caring touch of a parent or jostling in the school lunch line as
equivalent to an assault.
