Wired Differently: A Teacher’s Guide To Understanding Sensory Processing!

We have some exciting news to share here at ToyQueen.com! My first book, Wired Differently: A Teacher’s Guide to Understanding Sensory Processing Challenges, published by Gryphon House is here! 

Identifying educational toys and improving the lives of children through finding, fun, practical ways to play everyday has been my focus for the last 10 years here on this website.  But you might not know that all of this work has been inspired in my career as a pediatric occupational therapist.

Over the last 20 years as an OT, there has been a upward trend. More and more children are struggling in daycare and preschool.

The demands of preschool are making it difficult for many kids to have fun, happy, successful academic experiences before they even make it to Kindergarten. Sometimes children are struggling with the challenges of a diagnosis such as Autism. Many kids are overwhelmed with the environment and present with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Many times these issues don’t get uncovered until they begin to attend school and are tasked with the demands of sitting, paying attention, completing tasks and socializing with their peers. They can get overwhelmed very quickly and it leads to classroom behaviors and lots of phone calls home to parents.

This book is aimed to help early childhood teachers improve the participation and success of their students, especially with kids who have sensory processing difficulties or sensory processing disorder. It has practical tips and suggestions teachers can use for all of their students and I’m so excited to share it with as many people as possible, in the hopes that it can help kids have more fun and successful early childhood experiences!

Wired Differently: A Teacher’s Guide to Understanding Sensory Processing Challenges will be available on Amazon, but it’s also available directly through the publisher, Gryphon House

I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you buy the book on Amazon here!
