Synopsis

This book uncovers the puzzling behaviour by children and youths with Asperger Syndrome (AS) that have a sensory base and, therefore, are often difficult to pinpoint and interpret. Written in a very reader-friendly style, the book covers the impact of the sensory system on behaviour, reviews formal and informal assessment tools and offers an invaluable set of practical interventions that can be used by parents and educators alike to help promote success for children and youths with AS. The sensory gang - a set of clever icons used throughout the book- helps the reader navigate between the senses.

Media Reviews
Asperger Syndrome and Sensory Issues is of great value not only to special education teachers but every teacher. In addition, pediatricians and family physicians will gain insight into the issues faced by patients, their families and teachers. -- Paul A. Bryne, M.D., clinical professor of pediatrics, Medical College of Ohio
The Sensory Gang helps the reader to easily track the different components of sensory input and gain valuable insights on matching an appropriate intervention to the specific sensory issue. As one who has personal experience with some of these sensory issues and who also works with people having these problems, I highly recommend this text to anyone interested in learning more about understanding and helping people with Asperger Syndrome. -- Stephen M. Shore, MA, doctoral student in special education with a concentration in autism at Boston University
