Produktbeschreibung
When the inner ear's ability to sense sound and movement breaks down during early life, there can be wide-ranging developmental consequences. Sound Advice integrates the personal stories of a pediatric occupational therapist with current science on why some children struggle to learn and adapt. Sound Advice explores these often therapeutically ignored senses as the gateway to the brain. Treating them can help children with SPD, autism and ADHD more easily connect with the world around them. Take "Sound Advice" on:The hidden functions of hearing in paying attention The "background" sensation of the vestibular system How glitches in sensory systems can derail normal development Developmentally-effective therapies and interventions Empowering yourself to support your child's way of learning about the world "When I began my SPD journey with my daughter, there was almost nothing for parents who knew their child struggled, but had nowhere to turn to for answers. Over the years, after many other parents shared their stories and fabulous resources like Robin's book, the world of SPD isn't a mystery anymore. Including Sound Advice on your SPD reference shelf is a must." -- Chynna Laird, author of The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom's Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD "Why does your child struggle? In her highly informative and readable book, Robin Abbott uses her extensive clinical experience and keen powers of observation to help you look into your child's mind, sense the world the way he or she does, and, with this new understanding, seek out the most effective therapies." ---Susan R. Barry, PhD, author of Fixing My Gaze and Coming to Our Senses, Professor Emeritus of Biology and Neuroscience, Mount Holyoke College "A book I definitely recommend to all parents and professionals who want to know why sound and the auditory system play such key roles in the development of a child's self-awareness and motor, learning and social skills. Sound Advice is an accessible, engaging and practical book written by someone at the front line of helping kids with an obvious sense of care. A much-needed text at a time when sound-based therapies are becoming more popular while still little understood. A book for your must-read list." ---Paul Madaule, author of When Listening Comes Alive Learn more at www.booksoundadvice.com From Loving Healing Press

Autorenporträt
Robin Abbott has been an occupational therapist for over 20 years. She did not learn about the benefits of auditory and controlled vestibular therapy during either her Bachelor's or Master's degree training in occupational therapy. After post-professional training in advanced Therapeutic Listening© and Astronaut Training©, having seen some of the therapy-accelerating effects of these treatments, she was curious about why these treatments were so uniquely powerful. She began cobbling together the available research in her field, as well as neuroscience, audiology and rehabilitation science, creating a more objective picture of the effect of this therapy that confirmed the wonderful improvements she was seeing in her clients.As she practiced with children throughout the country (having moved a variety of places with her military spouse, Chris) she realized that these effective therapies were not commonly practiced. Historically, other effective treatments have not become widely available without the active involvement of parents, educators, and clinic-based therapists; all of whom insist on the availability of therapy that will help the children they care about. Auditory and controlled-vestibular therapy needed this type of grass-roots push! This book is Robin's effort to inform and enlighten the child-caring community about this treatment, so that they can be the best advocates for their children.Robin has presented these ideas to parents, therapists and students throughout the US and internationally. She has a TedX talk available online and is the founder of Dovetail Therapy. Now retired, she lives in Iowa with Chris. Still involved in healing, she is a practicing massage therapist and yoga teacher. She has two grown children and enjoys backpacking, reading, and gardening.
