Carol S. Kranowitz, M.A., wrote this book about children with Sensory Processing Disorder, drawing from her experiences as an early childhood educator for over 25 years.  It is filled with routines and remedies that will help children--and the parents of children--who exhibit the behaviors described. I have recommended this book to countless parents and teachers, and will continue to do so!
