Preschool is a time of wonder when curiosity, development, and learning intersect. While the new sights, routines, and experiences can make preschool exhilarating, what about children who struggle? Perhaps they exhibit odd behaviors: chewing on clothing, covering their ears, avoiding certain textures, refusing to sit with peers, screaming when frustrated, hitting, kicking, or biting.



Wired Differently

will help you to decode what may seem like everyday challenging behaviors. It's possible that these children are struggling with sensory processing disorder (SPD).

  • Differentiate between everyday challenging behaviors, and those that could signify something much more
  • Understand what sensory processing disorder (SPD) is and how it can interfere with a child's learning
  • Learn how to include sensory processing strategies as part of a typical classroom routine, and why they're important for all children
  • Effectively communicate with families about SPD behaviors and helpful learning techniques

Carter ★★★★☆

The case studies on sensory seekers versus avoiders really helped me picture my own students, and the chapter on classroom setup gave me three changes I made the next morning. I just wish it had a few more printable checklists, but the practical tone made it worth the read for any preschool teacher.

Thomas ★★★★☆

The chapters on meltdowns versus tantrums are exactly what I needed for my classroom, and the layout makes it easy to flip back to specific scenarios. I only wish it had a few more hands-on activity ideas to pair with the explanations, but it’s been a real help for understanding my kids’ sensory nee

Violet ★★★☆☆

The layout is easy to follow with clear headings, and I liked how it breaks down the preschool setting specifically. Some parts felt a bit repetitive if you've already read up on sensory processing, but there are a few practical strategies I'll actually try in my classroom.
