What is a sensory signal?
A sensory signal is a hint, clue, or indicator given by a child's behavior or reaction to the environment or surroundings.  This includes a child's reaction to social interaction or communication.  When one understands a child's sensory signals, it becomes more natural and clear as to how to enrich the environment with the right sensory tools and strategies. 

Picture

Understanding Your Child's Sensory Signals is a practical, easy to understand quick reference handbook that helps you understand, respect, and embrace the sensory signals your child is giving you on a constant basis. 

The reference handbook includes 210 of the most common sensory signals you are likely to see with your child.  Each sensory signal in the book includes a sensory explanation and suggested sensory tools and strategies! The handbook is designed to work hand in hand with this website! The 3rd edition also includes a bonus section...Sensory in a Nutshell!
