Some of us drink coffee, close our doors to screen out sounds from the hall, or wear only certain clothes so we feel comfortable. When we understand that these strategies are ways to manage our own sensory experiences, then we can better understand people like Arnie who use strategies, too. This book provides a window for understanding the everyday sensory challenges and solutions that are available to support kids at school and at home. --Winnie Dunn, Ph.D., author of Living Sensationally: Understanding Your SensesArnie and His School Tools is a delightful and one-of-a-kind book that helps others 'walk a mile in the shoes' of a child with sensory processing difficulties and understand the day-to-day challenges these children experience, especially in the school environment.
