must read for all therapists working with toddlers and preschoolers.
The photographs are magnificent and the ideas are creative! It will

"As a developmental/behavioral pediatrician who cares
for many children with autism spectrum disorders and sensory
integration issues, I am very excited about Tools for Tots. Written
by three very experienced occupational therapists, it is loaded with
savvy practical tactics that parents can readily use from the time
their child wakes up until they go to sleep. I like the short
explanations that frame the issues in the front of each chapter and
the checklists that make the book so easy and useful. Tools for Tots
will be on the short list of books I recommend for my young patients
who have sensory integration issues."

"The authors provide practical, developmentally
sensitive, and creative information to help create an optimal fit
between environments and young children with sensory based behavioral
challenges. The suggestions will be helpful for parents of typically
developing children, as well as those with sensory processing
diagnoses. I love the grounding of behavioral challenges in the
everyday activities that can make such a difference in the quality of
life for children and families."

and Toddlers
"Diana, Maureen, and Sue continue to be a wellspring of
joy and creativity. These terrific suggestions for little kids with
SPD help us to be ever mindful of the concept of ‘all play’, so that
everyone in their circle will get in sync."
