TPP 076a: Carol Kranowitz Talks About Sensory Processing Disorder and the Out-of-Sync Child
b'In this episode of the Tilt Parenting Podcast, I\\u2019m talking about sensory processing disorder in children with the fabulous Carol Kranowitz, the author of many books about SPD, including The Out-of-Sync Child and The Out-of-Sync Child Grows Up. A former preschool teacher, Carol is passionate about informing people about sensory processing disorder in children and helping parents and educators understand how to recognize and support kids with sensory issues.\\nI read Carol\\u2019s book The Out-of-Sync Child when Asher was about four years old, and I immediately had that sense of YES . . . this is what\\u2019s going on, so it was a thrill and honor to get to chat with Carol about what sensory processing is, how to recognize it in kids, what it looks like at different ages, as well as to hear Carol\\u2019s thoughts on efforts to get SPD fully recognized as a disorder. This is a fascinating conversation with one of the world\\u2019s top voices on SPD\\u2014I hope you enjoy it!\\nCarol Kranowitz was a music, movement, and drama teacher for 25 years, where she observed many out-of-sync preschoolers. To help them become more competent in their work and play, she began to study sensory processing and sensory integration (\\u201cSI\\u201d) theory. She learned to help identify her young students\\u2019 needs and to steer them into early intervention. In her writings and workshops, she explains to parents, educators, and other early childhood professionals how sensory issues play out \\u2013 and provides enjoyable sensory-motor techniques for addressing them at home and school. She is best-known for her first book in the \\u201cSync\\u201d series, The Out-of-Sync Child.\\n\\xa0\\nThings you\\u2019ll learn from this episode\\n\\nWhat sensory processing disorder in children is\\n\\nThe 3 types of sensory processing issues: sensory modulation (most common), discrimination issues, and sensory based motor problems\\n\\nHow parents can recognize if their child has sensory processing issues\\n\\nThe connection between SPD and other neurodifferences such as autism, ADHD, and OCD\\n\\nWhat to expect for sensory processing disorder in children at different ages\\n\\n\\xa0\\nResources mentioned for sensory processing disorder in children\\n\\nCarol Kranowitz\\u2019s website\\n\\n\\nThe Out-of-Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz\\n\\n\\nThe Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun by Carol Kranowitz\\n\\n\\nUit de Pas by Carol Kranowitz\\n\\n\\nMet Plezier Uit de Pas by Carol Kranowitz\\n\\n\\nStar Institute (www.spdstar.org)\\n\\nSupport the show\\nConnect with Tilt Parenting\\n\\n\\nVisit Tilt Parenting\\n\\nTake the free 7-Day Challenge\\n\\n\\n\\nRead a chapter of Differently Wired\\n\\n\\nFollow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram\\n\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
