How do you identify children who have Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), and then effectively assess what their sensory needs are? With this amazing tool, of course!
Developed by best-selling special needs author Carol Kranowitz, with guidance from expert occupational and speech therapists, this easy-to-use screening tool features customized checklists that can be implemented in the often-chaotic preschool classroom or playground. With side-by-side examples of typical and atypical responses to everyday sensory stimuli, this program helps teachers to recognize sensory processing patterns among students 2 ½ - 5 years old. Preschool SENSE is a great way for occupational therapists and preschool teachers to collaborate on simple accommodations for their students. The manual includes complete screening and assessment instructions that have been designed, tested, and fine-tuned over the years by Carol herself!
This package includes one manual and enough forms for eight children. Additional Preschool SENSE Forms Packets are sold separately.
