'This book outlines an occupational therapy perspective to observing, understanding, and giving a voice to children who have difficulty communicating. Using a biopsychosocial approach, the book explains how and why a child may think, feel, and act based on environmental and social influences and sensory and learning needs. Presented in accessible, everyday language, chapters help readers identify, describe, and clearly articulate the child's environment, the way that they process different sensory inputs, and how they learn. By treating children holistically and effectively communicating their story to others, the reader can identify the most effective ways to set up an environment to meet a child's needs and set them up for success. Therapists, educators, parents, and childcare workers will all benefit from the simple strategies outlined in this book to enrich a child's learning and maximize their potential'--
