As a music, movement and drama teacher for 25 years (1976-2001), Carol observed many out-of-sync preschoolers. To help them become more competent in their work and play, she began to study sensory processing and sensory integration ("SI") theory. She learned to help identify her young students' needs and to steer them into early intervention. In writings and workshops, she explains to parents, educators, and other early childhood professionals how sensory issues play out - and provides fun and functional techniques for addressing them at home and school. She is best-known for her book, The Out-of-Sync Child, which has sold more than 600,000 copies (September 2013).Over 400 sponsors have brought Carol to their communities for presentations, both in the United States and abroad -- including Australia, Canada, England, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, and Singapore.

Reviews

"The how-to book on sensory integration that we have been wishing and waiting for." --Autism National Committee

"This is an excellent resource book that clearly explains sensory systems and sensory integration and how to identify problems in this area for individuals with autism. There are checklists to help identify concerns, and it is full of practical suggestions for activities for specific difficulties, strategies for challenging behaviors, and adaptations in a variety of settings." --Geneva Centre for Autism

Each time I open my copy of Building Bridges through Sensory Integration to reread, say, a suggestion for teaching a child with poor self-regulation, a definition of occupational therapy, or strategies for sitting in a circle, I thank Paula, Ellen, and Shirley for writing this classic. The book is "just right" (as Dr. Ayres would say) because it has almost everything a parent, teacher, or professional needs to know about supporting children with sensory issues. Now that the book has been updated and reorganized, there is even more to applaud.Thank you, Paula, Ellen, and Shirley, for putting your heads together to produce this wonderful, necessary book. This revised version is the best yet! -- from the foreword by Carol Stock Kranowitz, MA
