Purchase options and add-ons

Optimal function of our bodies occurs when our sensory and motor systems are strong and able to adapt to the demands of the environment. Today’s children often struggle with fidgeting, decreased attention, and immature motor patterns, which manifest themselves through frustration and behavior issues. When our body’s systems are not integrated to form a strong foundation, difficulties in many areas occur. This book provides education about using movement to improve overall function, including instruction and pictures for fun-based movement activities. A “menu” of activities for therapists is easily accessible by thumbing through the book; by organizing and categorizing activities by target area, therapists will enjoy choosing fun and easily duplicated therapeutic games. Various pieces of equipment designed for therapeutic purposes are commonly utilized by occupational therapists (OTs), and three creative and fun activities are illustrated and explained for each piece of equipment listed in the book. Each activity is broken down into specific target areas. Some target areas are: proprioceptive, tactile, vestibular systems, timing, spatial awareness, visual perception, sensory seeking, sensory modulation, posture, coordination, and many more!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Sensorimotor Interventions explains in clear, concise terms how brain and body development occurs. You, too, may be fascinated to learn that babies’ brains are chaotic until sensorimotor experiences begin to organize it. It may be an “Aha!” moment to learn how competing sensory information from the eye and the ear make it hard for you to read in a moving car.” ― Carol Stock Kranowitz, MA Author, The Out of Sync Child; Co-Author, The In-Sync Activity Book, Answers to Questions Teachers Ask about Sensory Integration, and Absolutely No Dogs Allowed!

    This book provides useful activities for children mainly in the elementary or middle school age range. The activities provided are great. I work primarily with infants, therefore, this book was not the most useful for me specifically.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Comes across as an excellent text book for professionals who work with patients of gross or fine motor skill issues.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2018
    My disclaimer due to new Amazon rules: I was gifted a free electronic copy of this book, via Netgalley. I am not obligated, nor being forced, to post a review – I’m doing it of my own free will as I enjoy reviewing.

    On advice from Amazon, and based on their emailed reply I can say – “My review is given voluntarily and the Author/publisher does not require a review in exchange for the book, or attempt to influence my review.”

    I would like to thank Future Horizons for providing me with a free electronic ARC of this book, via Netgalley, in exchange for an open and honest review.

    Okay, I will start by saying I strongly feel this book is better suited for teachers and occupational therapists rather than your everyday common or garden parent of a child with issues that affect their motor skills. Me? I am just one of those parents and so, although I got some very good information from ‘Sensorimotor Interventions’ about how and why specific exercises are helping my neuro diverse child, it was clearly more based as a training book/ manual to help those who work professionally in this area.

    And so my rather mediocre rating of ‘Sensorimotor Interventions’ comes from a layman’s point of view and not that of the experts it is written for.

    But, being a reader of text books for fun and entertainment - as well as study and education - I can give input into the formatting and layout as well as the general gist of the information given.

    All in all, I found it a very comprehensive, easy to read (and navigate) text that works through the major issues within the gross and fine motor skills areas as well as then providing clear and easy to follow instructions and explanations about exercises that can help strengthen those areas.

    Layout was excellent, as said. Clear and easy to follow, great for quick referencing, all the things that make an okay text book an excellent one.

    But, yes, ‘Sensorimotor Interventions’ is more for the expert more than the parent wanting to learn more about how to work with their children and help them improve their motor skills.

    Would I recommend this book to others?

    Yes and no. And I think it is pretty self-evident why I am saying this, but just in case it’s not…

    ‘Sensorimotor Interventions’ is for professionals (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, etc.) that work with children with gross and fine motor skill issues. Although I am not one of these professionals, the book came across as a very useful and comprehensive text for those who DO work in these fields. And so I might recommend it to my son’s OT.

    But for parents of children with gross and fine motor skills issues (like me), I don’t feel this is the best book for us. It is clearly a text book/ manual and although I understood it because of my frequent reading of such books… I didn’t have the actual required education and knowledge to truly follow what the book demonstrated. Oh yes, there were some basics I could do… but no, my house isn’t set up like an OT room for the majority of exercises shown.

    Would I buy this book for myself?

    I think we all know the answer to this one! Yes I feel it is a great book but I am honestly not the right reader for it. Yes I could go out and buy it tomorrow for some of those basics… but the majority of the book is of no use to me simply because I am not the audience it was written for.

    This doesn’t make it a bad book; it just makes me a bad match as the reader.

    In summary: Comes across as an excellent text book for professionals who work with patients of gross or fine motor skill issues.
