When she was a preschool teacher, Carol Stock Kranowitz was curious about why certain young children responded in unusual ways to sensations that did not bother most kids. She learned about sensory integration and processing and wrote the first edition of "The Out-of-Sync Child" in 1998 to help parents and teachers understand and support kids who may be over-sensitive, under-sensitive, confused, poorly coordinated, and/or challenged in other mystifying ways. In April 2022, the third edition of "The Out-of-Sync Child" was published with a revised subtitle: "Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Differences." The word "Differences" replaces "Disorder," to be more inclusive and appreciative of the diverse ways individuals manage and use ordinary sensory messages coming from their bodies and the environment to function smoothly in daily life. This new edition includes a chapter on "look-alike" disorders such as learning disabilities, ADHD, and autism, as well as expanded information on research and treatments, especially occupational therapy. Other books in the "Out-of-Sync" series are "The Out-of-Sync Child Grows Up: Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder in the Adolescent and Young Adult Years" (Tarcher/Perigee 2016) and "The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun: Activities for Kids with SPD," 2nd edition (Perigee 2006). A children's book, "The Goodenoughs Get In Sync: 5 Family Members Overcome their Special Sensory Issues," revised, explains what being out-of-sync feels like (Sensory World, 2019). Meanwhile, Carol and her colleague Joye Newman are co-authoring publications in their "In-Sync Child" series. These materials focus on fun and functional activities to benefit ALL children, with and without developmental differences. Titles are "Growing an In-Sync Child: Simple, Fun Activities to Help Every Child Develop, Learn, and Grow" (Perigee 2010); its sequel, "In-Sync Activity Cards/Book" (Sensory World 2015); and a 52-week calendar, "A Year of Mini-Moves for the In-Sync Child" (upbility.net in digital format 2021, and Sensory World in hard-copy format 2022). Carol and Joye also have produced a 10-part webinar series on their In-Sync Child Method. To learn more, visit www.insyncchild.com Seven of Carol's materials have been translated into 18 languages: Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, French, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. To learn more, visit https://out-of-sync-child.com/translations/ Several books and materials have received awards from Mom's Choice, Creative Child magazine, and Learning magazine. Carol is a graduate of Barnard College of Columbia University and earned an M.A. in Education and Human Development from the George Washington University. She lives in Maryland with her partner Mark and has two sons and daughters-in-law and five grandchildren. She writes a column in the quarterly magazine, "Autism Digest." She plays the cello, walks three miles a day, and answers every email. FOR MORE INFORMATION ...
