Words:
The Sensory Integration Book helps identify children who have
difficulties with their sensory processing, and offers teachers
simple, easy-to-use solutions to support the sensory needs of
young children in the preschool classroom.
Do you have a child in your
early childhood classroom who:
• Climbs on top of furniture and jumps off?
• Covers his ears when children are singing?
• Refuses to touch clay, paint, or sand?
• Often falls down and skins her knees?
• Refuses to play on outdoor playground equipment?
If so, it is possible the child
is having sensory processing problems. How can you help children
with these problems so they can enjoy learning and grow in positive
ways? Sensory Integration helps you identify
children who have difficulties with sensory processing, and
it offers simple, easy-to-use solutions to support the sensory
needs of young children in the preschool classroom. Easy-to-implement
solutions include adaptations and activities for children with
different types of Sensory Processing Disorder. This book has
a bonus chapter with instructions for creating low-cost items
to help children with sensory issues. |

Autism is a serious neurological disorder
that usually appears in the first two years of life and can cause severe
impairment in language, cognition and communication. According to the
Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 166 children is being
diagnosed with Autism, a 1,354% increase between 1994-2002 according
to the U.S. Department of Education. Autism is the fastest growing developmental
disability in the United States today.
Mission Statement:
The TREACh foundation aims to provide funding for a wide
variety of therapeutic and recreational services for autistic children
from economically disadvantaged families, including, but not limited
to, early intervention, speech, occupational, physical, gymnastics,
music, art and equestrian, as well as family support services including
counseling, advocacy and resource referrals. Funding for these services
will be provided on a completely non-sectarian basis and without regard
to gender, age, religion or national origin.
Vision Statement:
Our vision is to see every autistic child provided the
care, education and resources necessary to reach their highest potential
and to realize a society that is aware, accepting and embracing of the
autistic population.
