“"The Sensory Processing Anthology" by Martha Ohler Guerrero is an invaluable resource for understanding and addressing Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). This unique book offers a holistic perspective on SPD, likening it to a "neurological traffic jam" where sensory information struggles to find its way through the brain, affecting a child's ability to make sense of the world. Guerrero's work sheds light on the complex and often bewildering behavior exhibited by individuals with SPD.

One of the standout features of this book is its in-depth exploration of the various types of SPD and the strategies to help sensory children succeed in their daily tasks. Guerrero's approach goes beyond merely categorizing sensory dysfunction by individual senses; instead, it provides a comprehensive understanding of each type of disorder. This approach is not only informative but also practical, as it equips parents, teachers, and caregivers with the knowledge needed to create a calm, loving, and empathic environment for sensory children to develop, learn, and thrive.

For educators, in particular, this book is a goldmine of insights. Guerrero skillfully addresses the challenges sensory children face in the classroom, emphasizing obstacles related to reading, writing, and processing information. By delving into the "whys" behind the behavior of children with SPD, the author empowers educators to provide a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.

Martha Ohler-Guerrero's ability to translate complex medical terminology into a conversational style is a highlight of this book. It allows readers to empathize with SPD students and envision practical ways to support them. This book has the potential to revolutionize education by promoting inclusiveness and understanding. It also provides information and practical strategies for dealing with SPD.

The book's emphasis on individualized approaches, rather than one-sizefits-all solutions, is particularly commendable. In conclusion, "The Sensory Processing Anthology" by Martha Ohler Guerrero is a comprehensive and insightful resource for anyone seeking to understand and support individuals with Sensory Processing Disorder. It offers a wealth of knowledge, practical strategies, and a fresh perspective that can positively impact the lives of sensory children and those who care for them.”
