Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
MEGHAN'S WORLD is a true story about one girl's triumph over Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). The story validates children's feelings and offers parents and teachers a look into the world of a child suffering from SPD. This book was inspired by Meghan's very first school show and her behaviors before, during, and after the event. The story briefly explains the therapies Meghan did to help her overcome SPD and lists resources for reference. MEGHAN'S WORLD ends with an 'About Me' page so parents can start a dialogue with their child - leading to insight about their own child's needs and wants. MEGHAN'S WORLD is a great book for children with diagnoses on the autism spectrum. It helps to promote understanding and social growth. Parents and teachers can help their children/students grow into their own accomplishments by learning how Meghan has dealt with the following issues: * Sensory Modulation * Sound Sensitivity * Social Insecurity * Hypo/Hyper-Responsiveness * Tactile Defensiveness * Visual Perception * Sensory Processing * Allergies/Food Intolerance

This book is wonderfully written and illustrated. Diane Renna has done a great job in relaying information that should be helpful in dealing with children who have sensory processing disorders. Shared insights to behaviors and diet changes make this book a must read for anyone dealing with it, and in my opinion, it will help many families dealing with autistic children.

I read this book cover to cover the moment I got it. I almost could have inserted my daughter's name in Meghan's place, they sounded so alike. I had never heard of SPD prior to this, and as I read, I finally started to understand all the behaviors, reactions, etc. that my daughter had that were so confusing to me. It gave me a chance to look at life through her eyes and really understand what each day was like for her. I contacted Diane for advice regarding auditory integration training and other interventions, and I'm happy to report my daughter is becoming a sucess story like Diane's. The place to start is with understanding, and that's what this book gives you - understanding so that you know how to help. It is so wonderful to see my daughter emerging and blossoming as a result of what we've learned.

As a pediatric OT, and as the coauthor of Raising a Sensory Smart Child, I highly recommend this lovely book. Kids with sensory processing issues often feel very isolated, as if only they are distressed by everyday sensory challenges that do not seem to bother anyone else. It can be profoundly comforting to a child to know she is not alone in experiencing what she feels. It also "normalizes" the interventions used to help her--such as using sensory gym equipment, getting "brushed," or listening to special music over headphones. While not every child with sensory issues needs all of the interventions described in the book (such as a special diet), this also opens up an important dialogue between parents and kids about activities that help children feel and function better.

This book was such a touching story of a girl trying to live with SPD. I found the book to be well written and informative. I have read it over and over to my children. They love the illustrations. There are many informative links and techniques for parents who are dealing with this and similar issues. Every mom should have this book on their book shelves!! This is a must read.

I am a speech language pathologist and I keep this book in my office for both my students and their parents. Most parents find the information on food allergies and related information to be very helpful. It also provides good links that provide further information and treatments for SPD. My students can relate to the story and illustrations. Overall, it is a great book!
