It's Just a ... What? by Anait Semirdzhyan, Hartley Steiner

This book looks at the perspective that kids with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) may have about things like shirt tags, scratchy socks, thick coats, and bracelets. It seemed targeted towards an audience without SPD to try to help cultivate awareness and patience. This may be a great book to read with kids or students who don't personally have SPD but who may know someone with SPD and how to be more aware of their perspectives.

I received a copy of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book is supposed to be about sensory issues, but in fact, other then showing different way for kid to experience sensory problems or bad feeling, it doesn't do anything. So it represent the problem, but give no explanation, no way to help, except then adapt everything for them, which I find not always realistic. An interesting and not talk about a lot subject, but an execution that could have use more reflexion or more editing work.

This is great book to teach about sensory disorders. Many examples of different ones and how they make those with sensory disorders feel. Some may not think they are a big deal and can't understand it-this book is for them. Also great for kiddos that suffer from them. A great way to show them why and help them make sense of it, too.

This book looks at the difference in how something feels to an adult or another person, and how it feels to a person with sensory issues. Like a shirt tag may be itchy to this reader, but to the little boy wearing it, it may feel like porcupine is stuffed in his shirt. It’s an interesting way of looking at things, and a great tool for helping kids with sensor issues.
