" Does the child show impulsiveness, or have problems transitioning from one activity to another activity, or seem rigid and inflexible at times? Moreover, are there signs of carelessness or clumsiness -- and is the child uncomfortable while involved with group situations? All of these behaviors in this paragraph are signs that SI dysfunction may be part of the problem, the authors assert.

And there are several more that the authors point to -- including when a kid has a big problem handling frustration, when he can't smoothly transition from an active state to a "calm, rested state" -- but just because one or more of these behaviors are apparent that doesn't automatically mean the child has SI dysfunction. "Lots of kids show these signs for lots of reasons," the authors explain. And some of the behaviors are quite "appropriate at certain ages" because "most toddlers are pretty impulsive" (note the "terrible twos").

Still, a child with sensory problems generally has "maladaptive responses to everyday situations"; and when a child has a "strong dislike for wool clothing" or has a rough time making eye contact with strangers -- or is afraid of a goat that bleats "loudly and unexpectedly at the petting zoo" -- something may be seriously wrong. This book has an endless list of possible clues to knowing that a child is showing signs of sensory imbalance, and is written in a very empathetic tone, eschewing the didactic themes in some psychology or health-related books. And the reason for the book being written is based on a real-world problem -- not a hypothetical scenario --, which adds to its value.
