"A basic introduction to the approach of sensory integration is presented in this collaborative effort, Helping Hyperactive Kids, by Lynn J. Horowitz and Cecile Rost. Written for the layperson as well as the professional, the book gives a better understanding and insight into the behavioral patterns and factors that might cause the hyperactive behavior of the child. The book includes a study of how the brain works, and helps the reader in their understanding the main sensory systems, of balance, touch, hearing, sight, feeling, taste, and smell.
This is an accessible, practical guide to sensory integration, a drug-free therapy for hyperactive children. Pioneered at the University of Southern California and the Brain Research Center at UCLA, sensory integration is a treatment based on play that helps children absorb and process information and respond to it appropriately. The therapy overview and practical advice in this book include: descriptions of how our sensory systems work at different stages of development; tips and techniques for helping the hyperactive child (although they are, also, good for any child); and illustrations, case studies and a description of a sensory integration session with a therapist. This non-medical approach can be used in conjunction with, or as a substitute for, traditional drug treatments. When children begin to function better through sensory integration exercises, it raises their self-esteem, which helps in all areas of their lives.
