Developed by best-selling special needs author Carol Kranowitz, with guidance from expert occupational and speech therapists, these forms can be implemented in the often-chaotic preschool classroom or playground. Preschool SENSE is a great way for occupational therapists and preschool teachers to recognize sensory processing patterns among students 2 ½ - 5 years old, and then collaborate on simple accommodations for their students. These forms have been designed, tested, and fine-tuned over the years by Carol herself!
This package includes the forms packet only, enough forms for eight children. The manual (with complete screening and assessment instructions) is sold separately.
