I read several before this one. The writers are kind enough to direct you where to go find something you need for a sensory smart child. This book discussed learning disabilities, different developmental delays and milestones. I talked about diiferent behaviors and what to expect and how to respond. This book is good from infancy to adulthood. It gave recomended reading lists and websites through out the book. As a parent,a childs new diagnosis for ASD or any developmental delay is tough and you start to seek sources for reference. This book eliminates the fillers/fluff in some books and tells good information about getting assistance, tools, toys, and things that parents need to become proactive. Arming yourself with knowledge helps you through the helplessness. This book gives you quality resources to immediately start helping your child. This book contained more than all the others together. It has helped me think more sensory smart and realize that I needed to reorganize our home and life to improve my son's life so that he could thrive. I have and will continue to use this book and refer to it as he grows. IT IS A GREAT TOOLBOX! Review: BEST Sensory Book ever! - Having read all the books in this genre, I'm particualarly impressed with this one written by Lindsey Biel and nancy Peske. The book is PACKED with information and I find myself using it often as a reference. The authors start with understaning your child (and I find this helps understand yourself and family too!). They explain the seven senses in detail and how and why their functioning is important and how their senses alter their behavior. The next section is about working with Occupational Therapists and how YOU can help your child at home, in school and in the community. They go through EVERYTHING; from eating (at home and in restaurants - including special feeding issues!), potty training, the dreaded birthday parties and family get togethers, and much more... How to decorate and make your house more sensory friendly is explored as well as how to advocate for your child in their school. It's seriously a one stop shop book. There is too much info for me to list - it's all in there. The writers are clear and discriptive, making a sometimes difficult subject matter easy to understand and apply to your every day life. A MUST READ section is "Quick Tips for Calming an Overwhelmed Child." Thank you, thank you, thank you for this priceless advise. This book is fabulous! ## Features - Author: Biel, Lindsey.Peske, Nancy. - Publisher: Penguin Books - Pages: 512 - Publication Date: 2009 - Edition: Updated, Expanded ed. - Binding: Paperback - MSRP: 18 - ISBN13: 9780143115342 - ISBN: 0143115340 - Other ISBN: 9781101429365 - Other ISBN Binding: print - Language: en ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #44,414 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #30 in Children & Adolescent's Learning Disorders #42 in Parenting Books on Children with Disabilities #133 in Anxiety | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,274 Reviews | ## Images ![Raising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Processing Issues, Revised and Updated Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WDleXNnSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best book for no-nonsense approach to helping parents *by T***R on May 21, 2012* I love this book!

This book is fabulous! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Information for Parents *by L***S on March 30, 2024* We have a child who has been struggling in certain areas, and SPD has been brought up in our regular pediatrician appointments. I read this book ahead of some assessments we have scheduled to feel better prepared for that discussion. This had such great information that has helped us tune into triggers for our child and change some little things at home to help while we wait on the formal assessments. It's helped me be more understanding as to why my child may be reacting in certain ways and made me feel more empowered as a parent to be an advocate for my child. ## Frequently Bought Together - Raising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory Processing Issues, Revised and Updated Edition - The Out-of-Sync Child, Third Edition: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Differences (The Out-of-Sync Child Series) - The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, Revised Edition: Activities for Kids with Sensory Processing Disorder (The Out-of-Sync Child Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1274120-raising-a-sensory-smart-child-the-definitive-handbook-for-helping](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1274120-raising-a-sensory-smart-child-the-definitive-handbook-for-helping) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
