Böcker av Carol Stock Kranowitz

The fourth edition of The Out-of-Sync Family (formerly titled The Goodenoughs Get In Sync) is a delightfully illustrated chapter book geared for ages 8 to 12. It tells the tale of five family members (each with a different sensory processing challenge), their mischievous dog, and how they get in sync after a tough day. Family members honestly and humorously explain what they do to function successfully and suggest how readers can also enjoy practicing sensory-motor activities at home or school.The unique book design puts the basic story line in larger type for younger children to read or hear. Explanations of sensory processing issues are woven throughout the story and are in smaller type for more proficient readers to peruse.
