Summary

Sensory Processing Profiles explores the diverse ways individuals experience the world through their senses, particularly focusing on neurodivergent and disabled populations. It emphasizes that sensory sensitivities, such as heightened reactions to stimuli or sensory-seeking behaviors, aren't deficits but variations in how people perceive and interpret sensory information. The book examines the neurological roots of these differences, tracing how sensory input travels from receptors to the brain, influencing behavior and emotional regulation.

 
Historically, these sensitivities were often misunderstood, but this book advocates for acceptance and accommodation, promoting inclusive environments that cater to varied sensory needs.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts like sensory modulation and discrimination, then delving into specific sensory profiles observed in conditions like autism and ADHD. It further explores how sensory differences impact daily life aspects, including social interactions, learning, and emotional regulation.

 
The volume uniquely focuses on detailed descriptions of various sensory processing patterns, offering insights into the challenges and strengths associated with different sensitivities. By integrating research from psychology, education, and occupational therapy, Sensory Processing Profiles aims to empower individuals, families, educators, and healthcare professionals with practical strategies for support and understanding.

The author of this book, Diana Dirkby, is an Australian-born research mathematician who lives with paranoid schizophrenia, a severe brain disorder, as did her mother. The title, “The Overlife,” suggests that a diagnosis of schizophrenia can be the beginning of a new, worthwhile life and not simply the death of the hopes and dreams that preceded the diagnosis. This book gives a fictional account of a mother and daughter living with paranoid schizophrenia. We follow the widely disparate effects of this brain disorder on Sarah, the narrator, and her mother, Jodie. We also meet Dalaigh, Jodie’s husband and Sarah’s father, with his violent resentment at being trapped in a marriage he doesn’t want. By age eight, Sarah is Jodie’s caregiver and must negotiate her mother’s rapidly worsening mental health and her father’s white-hot fury. The weight of these adult conflicts on the shoulders of one so young seems impossible to bear.

If your child has been diagnosed with epilepsy, you may have questions regarding the condition. What causes epilepsy? How is it diagnosed? What are the available treatments? How can I help my child? It is not unusual for a parent to experience feelings of helplessness, fear, grief, or anger after a child has been diagnosed with epilepsy. Local epilepsy associations can provide you with valuable information regarding your concerns. Many associations have helpful resource materials on epilepsy and a staff committed to answering questions and providing information. Often associations offer in-service training to schools which educate others about the condition. Associations may also be able to provide you with support groups, trained professionals, or other families who are facing similar challenges. In some cases, a diagnosis of epilepsy may require little change in lifestyle. In other cases, there may be significant change for the child and the family. In either situation, learning about epilepsy can empower you and help you make informed decisions regarding medical treatment, care, or safety. Learning about epilepsy may also help to alleviate your own anxiety and allow you to focus on the needs of your child.
