This book demonstrates the value of fidgeting and wiggling in the classroom! It clearly explains how sensory processing works, both for students and teachers.

Without the use of a diagnosis, medication, or therapy.

Description

9th and revised edition!

Now with interoception and the Fan Model

"I should have had this book when I was still teaching! Then I would have had more understanding of some students' behavior and could have guided them better."
Heleen Hess, former teacher

Every teacher knows them: students who are always rocking their chairs or prefer to hide in their hoods all day. It seems as if these students are not engaged in the lesson and not paying attention at all. You might think it's challenging behavior, but in reality, these students use all kinds of tricks to stay focused. They are sensory-understimulated or overstimulated and are trying to regain their balance.

This book clearly demonstrates the value of fidgeting and wiggling in the classroom! It clearly explains how sensory processing works, both for the students and the teacher. Teachers learn to look at students differently: through a so-called ZiP lens. With this lens, they see the abnormal sensory processing and can respond quickly, easily, and with greater understanding. Without the use of a diagnosis, medication, or therapy.

This book is especially practical. It contains many (didactic) tips that make the classroom and lessons sensory-friendly, thus increasing learning outcomes for all students. By using a clever selection scheme, behavior is quickly recognized, after which a choice can be made from more than 250 tips and strategies to help the student. Situations outside the classroom are also discussed, so that support staff can be well-prepared to work. This book clearly demonstrates the value of fidgeting and wiggling in the classroom!

"The book is very practical; the clear instructions are easy to use in the classroom. It's great to look at behavior from a different perspective, without labeling it." – Carola Meijer, Internal Support Worker at the Flore Foundation

"It's a very well-organized and easy-to-read book with a neat design, featuring many attractive colored illustrations that cover all aspects of school life." It invites you to get started right away. Recommended for all teachers.' – Els Rengenhart, Sensorimotor Integration
