For children with sensory difficulties—those who struggle to process everyday sensations and exhibit unusual behaviors such as avoiding or seeking out touch, movement, sounds, and sights—this groundbreaking audiobook is an invaluable resource. Sensory processing challenges affect all kinds of kids—from those with developmental delays, learning and attenion issues, or autism spectrum disorder to those without any other issues. Now in its third edition, Raising a Sensory Smart Child is even more comprehensive and helpful than ever.

In this audiobook, you'll learn:

*How the 8 senses (yes, 8!) are supposed to work together and what happens when they don't

* Practical solutions for daily challenges—from brushing teeth to getting dressed to handling holiday gatherings

* Strategies for managing sensitivities to noise, smell textures, and more

* "Sensory diet" activities that help meet sensory needs, with new ideas for kids, teens, adults, and families

* Parenting tips for handling discipline, transitions, and behavioral issues

* How to practically and emotionally support children and teens with autism and sensory issues

* Ways to advocate for your child at school and make schools more "sensory smart"

* How to help your child with sensory issues use technology effectively and responsibly
