Sensational Kids
"Sensational Kids"
Book Review
By: Michelle Morris
International Administrator, SPD Parent S.H.A.R.E.
Dr. Lucy Jane Miller's much anticipated new
book "Sensational Kids" arrived in my mailbox yesterday. I couldn't
wait to see it, and ripped open the mailing package at the end of my
drive.
As I read Lucy's Introduction, I finally understood the source of her
compassion, and endless dedication. With my face buried in the book, I
muttered, "Order pizza, please...?" to my husband and settled into my
chaise lounge. As much as I've learned the past five years about SPD,
as many answers as I found, I knew in the first chapters I had found
more. I was glued.
With great warmth and clarity, Dr. Lucy Jane Miller, and Doris Fuller
weave a tapestry that is Sensory Processing Disorder, with a beautiful
blend of children, family, facts and insight. I heard the doves singing
their night song outside my window as the evening shadows fell. I kept
reading. I kept learning. The giggles of my own child singing in the
bathtub faded from my hearing, as the words and feelings of other
sensational children rang in my heart.
A warm cup of coffee was pressed into my hand, and my house settled
into the deep silence of the night. I felt Lucy's presence beside me as
she gently guided my thoughts toward new understanding, and taught me A
SECRET.
New tools, new concepts, brought new understanding.
I slipped into the lives of children with different forms of SPD, as a
silent engaged observer, and the truth of our sensational children
rings clear. With better understanding, we can offer more hope, and
more help. These are the stories of all our children, written in
a style that makes sense, one answer at a time. One child at a time.
I looked up as I heard the doves sing good morning, and the sun rose on
a new day filled with more hope than I ever imagined. I closed the
book, with a contented sigh, on the last page. With tears in my eyes,
and a smile on my lips, I knew this book will be with me every day. My
guide and my own personal reminder of hope. Now I've got A SECRET! And
I intend to share it...
There is not one of us, therapist, teacher or parent who wouldn't
benefit by reading this book. I am touched beyond measure. I am elated
for her, and know this book will open doors that have been closed and
the eyes of those who could not see.
New concepts, categories, and strategies. And...A SECRET from Lucy to
you, that will be an invaluable tool for you. Buy this book, read this
book, any way you can.
Thank you, Lucy!
