Hyperactive children may have a sensory integration problem that makes it difficult for them to select and respond appropriately to the everyday stimuli or events in their environment. For example, if they have a filtering problem, they may not know whether it is more important to pay attention to the teacher's voice or to the sounds of an airplane. This resource book, written for parents and teachers, provides sensory integration techniques that can be used immediately to help hyperactive children develop more integrated behavior. As children begin to function in a more appropriate way with the help of this approach, their self-esteem improves, which helps in all areas of their life. This resource book includes the following:
