Sensory and behavior issues are often complex, intermingled, and pertinent to most clinicians and educators who work with children. This second edition provides updated information and strategies for distinguishing between sensory-based and non-sensory-based behaviors, as well as intervention techniques. Each chapter includes major updates and revisions reflecting current research and best practice. Emphasis is placed on using a team approach to assessment and intervention. Topics addressed include causes of behavior, sensory integrative dysfunction, environmental factors that impact behavior, managing challenging behaviors, and implementing sensory diets.
The case studies and worksheets included offer practical suggestions when working with children. This book will help multidisciplinary team members analyze behavior in children to determine if sensory issues exist or if it is a behavior problem as well as identify what factors are the root cause of the problem. Laminated cards include intervention strategies for challenging behaviors.
