As a response to questions and requests from parents, teachers, and therapists of individuals who are challenged by sensory motor integration difficulties, this field guide was written.

Some frequent questions were; Why cant' my child sit still? Why can't they remember what they just read although they read many books? Why do they move their head when they read? Why do they put their head down on the desk? Why do they dislike certain noises? This guide is for clinicians and medical professionals ,laypersons and educators. It identifies areas that offer information and insight into connective links between sensory motor development and sensory motor anomalies with explanations of the connective links to the foundations of development. The BLUEPRINT for the human body in both its creation and development will always be the same. With guidance for identifying causes ,not symptoms , there can be better use of precious time and resources. This can lead to less frustration and confusion for individuals and family members. For the therapist and medical professional: Despite giving your best efforts, you may be frustrated by only seeing limited or slow gains. This provides the tools to identify problems in a new way and further your own knowledge and skill. Through this guide, you may gain a new perspective to the underlying, foundational issues rather than the presenting behavior. It is designed to offer therapists a concise compilation of information that pulls the vestibular system functioning, reflex integration, and visual processing information together. For the educator, diagnostician, school psychologist and any other related educational professionals: This was written to raise awareness of many problems students have that impede learning. You may have questioned why one seemingly bright student is failing and why previous attempts for learning have fallen short. This guide will help you better identify the underlying problem and seek the proper help.

For the parents and families: You may be struggling with where to go for help. It's not a recipe or guide for families to deliver therapy, but rather a guide to raise awareness of difficulties from a different perspective. If you see your child described in this guide, you will be better equipped to know which questions to ask and where to begin to seek help.
