Summary: Licensed Physical Therapist reviews Sensory Secrets
Review: Sensory Secrets is the first source of information on Sensori-Motor Processing that is written in plain English. Most sources include enough scientific terminology that the average person gets lost in the text. Finally, there is a book to explain the importance of touch and movement in young children to the average person. It's a must for all parents, and for any individual working with children.

Summary: Kathleen from Michigan ... Easy Reading...
Review: Sensory Secrets was easy to read, yet contained a great deal of important information that is usually difficult to understand. I am planning on using the Foundational Skills Inventory at home and in work situations.

Summary: easy to understand
Review: Sometimes books on the sensory systems are a hard read for non Occupational Therapists. This book was easy to follow with great examples of what to do to help with certain problem areas. I bought one and bought a second one for my son's teacher! I think the book is very helpful, hit vital points and actually made sense. I highly recommend it for a good read on sensory issues.
