Arnie and His School Tools: Simple Sensory Solutions to Build Success
Arnie and His School Tools: Simple Sensory Solutions to Build
Success is an illustrated children's book about an exuberant little boy who had
difficulty paying attention in class and doing his school work until he was
equipped with the tools to accommodate his sensory needs. Written from Arnie's
point of view, the book uses simple language to describe some of the sensory
tools and strategies he uses at school and home to help him achieve a more
optimal level of alertness and performance. Arnie and His School Tools creates
an environment that is accepting of students with sensory modulation
difficulties, including many on the autism spectrum. Occupational therapists,
teachers and parents will find this book an engaging way to introduce elementary
students to basic sensory tools used to help children focus in classroom
settings, such as fidgets, chewy pencil toppers, and weighted vests. Additional
resources are provided at the end of the book, including definitions of sensory
processing and sensory modulation disorder, suggested discussion questions, and
lists of related books and websites.
