This practical and well-researched tool is unique by focusing on middle and high school students, whose sensory needs are often overlooked. In suggesting interventions for this age group, the author emphasizes the importance of fostering independence, self-advocacy and self-regulation as a way to for teens with autism spectrum disorders to take ownership of their sensory needs as they transition into adulthood. Using simple terminology and lots of illustrations, the book also explains sensory integration basics, describes the sensory systems and their dysfunction and helps develop daily educational interventions through assessment of sensory needs.

Very clear layout concentrating on sensory issues in particular for older children. Lots of useful snippets relating to younger ASD children though. Maybe more for OTs than regular classroom teacher - quite an overwhelming topic to absorb all at once!
