Sensory Play is the essential Sensory Bin Program for Toddlers. This book contains over 65 sensory bin topics with picture books, supplementary activities and snacks to stimulate your child.This may not be labeled as a book about special needs/parenting, but as an Autism parent, I can attest that sensory issues commonly accompany Autism and ADHD/ADD.
Sensory Play activities provide opportunities to -Encourage exploration -Learn new concepts -Increase creativity -Develop small motor skills -Expand vocabulary
The foundation for Sensory Play is on creating sensory bins for your toddler’s self discoveries. Each bin focuses on a specific theme: Colors, Seasons, Celebrations, Alphabetical/Topical.
Who will enjoy these activities?
This book was written as part of our Busy Toddler, Happy Mom Series and therefore is suitable for your child who is over eighteen months old. However, if you also have a preschooler, this book is also really appropriate for your older child since he or she will enjoy all the sensory bins and activities but with even greater understanding of the topics. As in our first book, this book was designed to increase your fun and interaction with your little people.

Along with practical guidelines how parents can identify early signs in babies, toddlers and infants, the book also includes important developmental milestones in motor skills, speech and language. It discusses sensory issues and co-morbid conditions that also accompany autism.
The book concludes with practical steps on how to get a formal diagnosis, the steps to take for early intervention and a range of treatments available for your child.
As the number of children diagnosed with Autism rises to 1 in 50, parents need to be aware of the early signs in order to act early and get their children the help they need. Acting early with Autism is essential because the the wiring of the brain is developing at a rapid rate when children are young. The faster you act the faster you can help make those connections that can occur before the plasticity of the brain starts to slow down making it harder to adjust behaviors.
In writing this book, Leslie brings with her extensive knowledge in the field of Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. She is currently enjoying her role as Editor of Autism Parenting Magazine as well as performing speaking engagements on Autism.
