Sensory Profile Toolkit: A Sensory Resource for Parents of autistic Children.
This booklet begins with an introduction to sensory differences in autism and an explanation of the sensory system. Following this is a sensory checklist for each of the 8 senses:
- Sight
- Sound
- Smell
- Touch
- Taste
- Proprioception (sense of self in space)
- Vestibular (balance)
- Interoception (sense of body, discomfort and pain)
The book then goes onto an interpretation of the results, followed by a list of suggested activities.
The book is wire bound with a laminated cover and is designed to be written in.
It does not replace a sensory assessment, but will help parents who are struggling in this area to understand some of the ways they can support their child.
The booklet can be purchased for £6.85 (Inc first class postage) from our eShop using the link below.
