Synopsis: As a mom of a newly diagnosed child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Chynna Laird relentlessly sought experts in SPD, as well as top nutritionists, biopsychologists, and neurologists. She thought that if she could understand the major functions of the brain, and how it’s supposed to take in, process and respond to stimulation, she could discover how SPD interferes with these functions. Understanding the whole picture (the combination of body, brain and nutritional health) led Chynna to embrace the “Sensory Diet.”
“Exceptionally well written, organized and presented for the benefit of the non-specialist general reader with no previous background on the subject…”
In the pages of “The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom’s Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD”, Chunna share the keys of a well-balanced nutritional diet and the activities and exercises that truly work. “The Sensory Processing Diet” is specifically designed for parents to utilize the resources in this study to create a whole picture of their own child’s conditions and create a customize Sensory Diet for him or her.
Critique: Exceptionally well written, organized and presented for the benefit of the non-specialist general reader with no previous background on the subject, “The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom’s Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD” is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to community and college/university library Parenting collections in general, and SPD supplemental studies lists in particular. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of concerned parents that “The Sensory Processing Diet” is also readily available in a paperback edition (9781615995219, $21.95) and in a digital book format (Kindle, $6.95).

Who are the people with disabilities in your neighborhood?
Maggie and Momma love going for walks. During every outing, Maggie learns about
something new. Today's no different! Momma has arranged for Maggie to meet lots
of people in her neighborhood. They all have different jobs. They all come from different
cultures. They all use different things to help their bodies. Maggie doesn't just stop
to chit-chat. Rather, she gets to the bottom of things. By asking the right question, she
discovers how many people with disabilities use aids to help them out. Let's find out
how they work, too!

    Therapists' Acclaim:

    "This book is just right for a preschooler or young elementary
    aged child who needs a simple introductory explanation
    about disabilities and accommodations. It's characters
    experience varied limitations and are represented by
    culturally diverse people in the neighborhood. The book
    is short, matter of fact, colorful and to the point."

    --Laurie Zelinger, PhD,author of Please Explain Anxiety to Me


    "Perception of a disability is life-shaping for those who
    are 'differently able'. it is imperative that they have assistive
    devices to help them lead normal lives and be
    perceived as 'normal'. i.e. differently able. Your book
    shows people living their normal lives with assistive devices
    which is the way it should be Thanks for your great
    contribution to the positive perception of people who are
    differently abled."

    --N.Siddiq, B.Sc., M.D., CBC freelance broadcast journalist


    "This book is a great resource for parents, teachers and
    other childhood educators to help teach children about
    living with a disability. It offers important lessons in tolerance,
    compassion and dignity."

    --Mary Lynne Stewart, Director of Fund Development and Communications, March of Dimes Canada
