Episode 30: The Out of Sync Child: Sensory Processing Disorder with Carol Kranowitz

Helping Children Thrive

Many parents are struggling to understand the sensory needs of their child and how to help them. They may or may not have received a diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder. Often times, this diagnosis comes along with other diagnosis of Autism, ADHD and/or Learning Disabilities.
On this week's episode, I have Carol Kranowitz, the author of the groundbreaking book that explains Sensory Processing Differences (SPD).
As a music, movement, and drama teacher for 25 years, Carol observed many out-of-sync preschoolers. To help them become more competent in their work and play, she began to study sensory processing and sensory integration (“SI”) theory. She learned to help identify her young students’ needs and to steer them into early intervention. In her writings and workshops, she explains to parents, educators, and other early childhood professionals how sensory issues play out – and provides enjoyable sensory-motor techniques for addressing them at home and school. Carol is best-known for her first book in the “Sync” series, The Out-of-Sync Child. Edition 3.

Carol graduated from Barnard College of Columbia University and earned her master’s degree in Education and Human Development from The George Washington University.

She is a board member of the STAR Institute for Sensory Processing Disorder
