What would you do if your child suffered with something so severe it affected every aspect of her life? And what if your cries for help fell on deaf ears at every turn? You'd follow your gut and fight until someone listened. And that's what Chynna Laird did. When she was just three months old, Jaimie's reactions to people and situations seemed odd. She refused any form of touch, she gagged at smells, she was clutzy and threw herself around and spent most of her day screaming with her hands over her ears and eyes.
By the time she turned two, Jaimie was so fearful of her world they spent most days inside. What was wrong with Chynna's miracle girl? Why wouldn't anyone help her figure it out? Jaimie wasn't just spirited as her physician suggested nor did she lack discipline at home. When Jaimie was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) at two-and-a-half, Chynna thought she had the answer, but that was just the start of a three-year quest for the right treatments to bring the Jaimie she loved so much out for others to see. With the right diagnosis and treatment suited to Jaimie, this family finally felt hope. Not Just Spirited is one mother's journey to finding peace for her daughter, Jaimie. As Chynna says often, Knowledge breeds understanding. And that's so powerful.
Parents and Therapists Praise Not Just Spirited Chynna's memoir is sure to encourage other parents to advocate with the same determination for their own sensational children.
--Carol Kranowitz, author
The Out-of-Sync Child I only wish I had this book earlier. Even though my daughter and I live with this every day, I learned a lot from this book, and will return to my family with renewed hope and energy!
--Nancy Pfortmiller
Chynna's words touched my heart. Her memoir validated the overwhelming feelings I went through myself with my own daughter's struggles with her SPD. Raising and loving a child with severe SPD is draining for both your mind and your physical body. However, with a strong faith in God and the instincts only a mother can have, there is hope. Not Just Spirited will fill your soul with spirit and give you the strength needed to endure your own child's challenging behaviors, leading you on an enlightening journey of acceptance, strength, hope, and healing.

This book uncovers the puzzling behaviour by children and youths with Asperger Syndrome (AS) that have a sensory base and, therefore, are often difficult to pinpoint and interpret. Written in a very reader-friendly style, the book covers the impact of the sensory system on behaviour, reviews formal and informal assessment tools and offers an invaluable set of practical interventions that can be used by parents and educators alike to help promote success for children and youths with AS.

Why use a weighted lap pad? Is your child a wiggle worm? Does your child have difficulty staying put in a chair? Does it seem as if the chair has springs on the seat because your child always jumps right off? Innate hyperactivity and attention difficulties keep children with ADHD and Autism out of their chairs and on the move. These children are unable to adequately sense the chair against their bodies. Therefore, they do not feel properly grounded. Instead, they feel extremely insecure. The use of a weighted lap pad will help your child feel the deep pressure of the chair or seating surface and want to stay still. Some children enjoy the lap pad on their chest or back when going to sleep.

Imagine the warmest coziest robe or towel you have ever felt, combined with the soothing hug of a loved one. This is the sensation that sensory challenged children receive from this blanket.
The Sensory University weighted blanket is professionally manufactured to therapists standards. Our blankets have a weight of 8 lbs and are 45 x 60 inches. This is the maximum weight offered to prevent suffocation hazards. Unlike less expensive blankets, our blankets are double insulated to prevent the sound of beads moving as this is a huge distraction to children with sensory disorders.
This blanket can be used as a bed blanket, a wrap around, or it can even be doubled to use as a large weighted pad or shoulder weight. We offer the blanket in two color combinations. Double blue for complete calming, or blue / red which can be used as a calming agent on one side, and a great source of visual stimulation on the other. Many children with sensory issues are extremely attracted to the color red, while the color blue seems to create an instant calming sensation. The blue / red combo give you the best of both worlds, and has the same soft texture on both sides. We offer the double blue color for children who just can't handle vibrant colors.
Washable
Not for use with small children who are prone to suffocation. Use should be supervised at all times. Never place in crib with an infant.

A see-through, inflatable, nubby ball of fun! A soft tint, clear exterior adds to the playful sensory experience. Four highly sensible reasons for choosing a Sensory Ball for your child: Sensory Balls enhance sensory stimulation: When children hold a sensory ball, they appreciate the nubbly texture. When they squeeze one, they can feel the rubber stretch and contract beneath their fingertips. Sensory balls are effective in massage stimulation. Softly rolling textured sensory balls on a child's back or feet heightens sensory awareness. Sensory balls are favored by teething babies who love to chew on safe, sensory balls. Sensory Balls enhance gross motor skills: From their first months to years later children improve both fine and gross motor skills with sensory balls. Infants crawl toward sensory balls enhancing eye/hand coordination, use muscles to reach a sensory ball, then grasp and hold on tight! As children grow, they enthusiastically squeeze, roll, throw and kick sensory balls. Sensory Balls enhance socialization: Young children interact with others as they roll a sensory ball across the floor to mom and dad, grandpa or grandma. Young children eagerly toss sensory balls to playmates. Sensory Balls enhance visual and perceptual skills: Four vivid colors capture child interest. Unique projections peak visual curiosity. Tremendous Sensory Play Toys Valuable as Perceptual-Motor Teaching Tools Visually & tactilely stimulating Enhance both fine motor skills and gross motor skills Encourage sensory exploration Stimulate interest in socialization with others Recommended by physical therapists and early childhood educators Well constructed of highly durable materials Diameter: 16.5 cm Recommended for ages 6 Months+
