Did I enjoy this book: I liked the book. It was a bit wordy, and I felt that Dalgliesh was uncomfortable writing the first few chapters - they covered the basics on various sensory disorders, which are clearly not her area of expertise - but otherwise it was great!When I'm reading a Special Education book I review it two different ways - once as an Applied Behavior Analysis professional and once as a parent. As an ABA professional there were a few things that irked me - mainly Dalgliesh's statement that "sensory kids are aware...that something is `different' about them," along with her assumption that `sensory kids' are always verbal. They're not - in either situation. But Dalgliesh makes no claims of being a Special Ed professional, so I'll give her a pass.All the way through the book I kept saying to myself, "Um, yeah, duh." "Obviously." "Well OF COURSE you would do that! Why wouldn't you?" I thought I was being a Special Ed snob, but then I realized something. Carolyn Dalgliesh is a genius. She's taken her organizational skills (which, as someone with OCD, I utterly appreciate), and used them to help parents - the parents of any child - streamline, simplify, and relax their lives. She focuses on long-term lessons, not specific tasks or behaviors, so by reading this book you'll end up with an overall strategy for parenting, not one program designed to target one specific behavior.Dalgliesh conveys the basics of ABA in an informal, friendly tone: be an objective observer and understand your child rather than trying to fix him. She's also figured out that a lot of what we, as Special Education professionals, DO is common sense: break down problematic tasks into easy steps, get rid of the distractions, and use visual aids.
