"Understanding Your Child's Sensory Signals" is a highly recommended resource for parents and teachers looking to better understand and support children with sensory needs. The book provides a simple and easy-to-read explanation of various behaviors and activities that can help improve both the child's and caregiver's behavior. One reviewer describes the book as a fabulous collection of descriptions and activities tailored to meet specific sensory needs. Another reviewer praises the book for its helpful suggestions and practicality, particularly for parents with children on the autism spectrum or with Sensory Processing Disorder. The book's table of contents allows readers to easily locate specific issues or behaviors, such as fear of washing hands, and provides a brief overview of the child's experience followed by bullet-pointed recommendations to help them cope. This format is especially useful for busy parents who may not have time to read an entire book. Additionally, the book is described as a useful reference for other family members or caregivers who may not attend occupational therapy sessions but still need to understand and address the child's behaviors.
