The long-awaited follow-up to the million-copy bestseller The
Out-of-Sync Child, presenting information and advice for tweens, teens,
and young adults living with Sensory Processing Disorder, and their
parents.
The Out-of-Sync Child Grows Up will be the new bible for the vast
audience of parents whose children, already diagnosed with Sensory
Processing Disorder, are entering the adolescent, tween, and teen years,
as well as those who do not yet have a diagnosis and are struggling to
meet the challenges of daily life. This book picks up where The
Out-of-Sync Child left off, offering practical advice on living with
SPD, covering everyday challenges as well as the social and emotional
issues that many young people with SPD face.
Topics include strategies for coping with the sensory aspects of
grooming, social lives and dating, playing sports and music, and other
issues, as well as how to find support and help from loved ones,
occupational therapy, and other resources. Carol Kranowitz's insights
are supplemented by first-person accounts of adolescents and teens with
SPD, sharing their experiences and hard-won lessons with readers and
adding a powerful personal dimension to the book.
