Children struggling with sensory integration issues have limited, sometimes even no, ability to do anything else. "My Sensory Book: The More I Know About My World, The Better I Will Feel" is a workbook designed to assist children with establishing a clearer understanding of their sensory systems and the impact sensory input may have on their emotions. The book provides clear descriptions and specific information about sensory systems and illustrates the link that can exist between sensory input and emotions. This relationship can be useful in children and adults establishing and understanding the triggers for their strong emotions, which helps make it easier to put strategies in place that may mitigate these feelings and ultimately help them cope more effectively with the world around them. The workbook includes activity opportunities for self exploration in the areas of sensory systems, arousal levels, and emotions and walks children (and their adults) through determining a personal plan for difficult situations.

"My Sensory Book is an easy-to-read and accessible book filled with practical suggestions for working with children who have sensory difficulties.

Ms. Kerstein emphasizes the connection between sensory stimuli and emotions and, in doing so, promotes self-awareness of feelings and behavior." -- Judy Reaven, Ph.D. "Autism and Developmental Disabilities Clinic, JFK Partners - University of CO Denver School of Medicine"
