GoodEnoughs.

The Goodenoughs Get in Sync - New Edition
FH Sensory, Updated 2010. Illustrated by T. J. Wylie.

This delightfully illustrated “chapter  book,” geared for 8-to-12-year-olds, tells the charming tale of five  family members and their naughty dog (each with a different sensory  processing challenge) and how they get in sync after a tough day.  The story itself is in larger print to benefit younger readers.  Explanations of sensory processing issues are woven throughout the  story in smaller type for proficient readers to linger over at  leisure.

 Everyone with sensory issues will find a  character to identify with. Maybe your child is like Darwin, with  sensory overresponsivity. Or perhaps you know someone like Betsy and  Filibuster, who are sensory seekers. This wonderful book, from the  best-selling author of The Out-of-Sync Child and The Out-of-Sync  Child Has Fun, is a must-have for every family challenged by sensory  processing problems!

The Goodenoughs Get in Sync is the winner of an i-Parenting Media Award and is a Finalist for ForeWord Magazine's 2005 Book of the Year for juvenile non-fiction.

SenseCD

(CD) Making Sense of Sensory Integration
Sensory Resources, 2001. Introduction by Carol Kranowitz.

Jane Koomar, PhD, OTR, Stacey Szklut, MS, OTR, and Sharon Cermak, EdD, OTR, discuss developmental stages from infancy through adulthood and characteristics of SPD at different ages. Making Sense of Sensory Integration is an excellent introduction to the topic.

TeachersCD

(CD) A Teacher's Guide to Sensory Processing Disorder
Sensory Resources, 1999.

On this informative CD, Stacey Szklut, MS, OTR/L, and Carol Kranowitz, MA, discuss children with sensory processing challenges. This "commuter-friendly" CD helps teachers and other educators reach these kids and help them succeed in the classroom, cafeteria, gym, and playground. Public health physician David Silver, MD, adds narration to the discussion.

A Teacher's Guide to Sensory Processing Disorder (aka SPD) is especially helpful when used in conjunction with the book, Answers to Questions Teachers Ask About Sensory Integration.

GettinSyncVideo

(DVD) Getting Kids in Sync
Sensory Resources, 2002.

Carol Kranowitz demonstrates many SAFE (Sensory-motor, Appropriate, Fun and Easy) activities on this 30-minute video, with the help of the preschool students of St. Columba's Nursery School in Washington, DC.

The activities help children of differing abilities to develop their skills and integrate their senses. The activities are ideal to use at home or school.

Some of the music and movement activities included on the video are Paper Plate Dance, Plate Skate, Stretchy Bands, and T-Stools. Watching groups of children participating in the activities helps parents, teachers, and kids imitate and expand on the action when they try the activities. For those adults who appreciate written directions, the activities are described at length in The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun.
