I have written several blogs about the books I have read on the following themes: stimulus processing, autism, ADHD, ADD, high sensitivity, high sensitivity and imaginal thinking.
Step by step I explain for each book what it is generally about and which books I recommend. I read a lot of books myself to gain insight into myself and I hope to be able to help others with that too. The books are interesting for people who want to delve into:
In this article I especially emphasize the books that deal with stimulus processing
Wiggling and fidgeting in the classroom is about stimulus processing and how this arises in your brain. Monique and Carmen give a very broad explanation about stimulus processing and how a child experiences stimuli with stimulus processing. Both over- and under-pushing are discussed extensively.
It also states what you can do if you are overstimulated or understimulated as a teacher or parent .. For example, someone who is understimulated you put at a door or you actively bring things to another class, for example books so that this child is and remains active and can concentrate as a result.
The book also contains a stimulus profile. With this profile you can see when a child or someone in the environment is over-stimulated or under-stimulated. For example, the eyes wide open and rapid breathing indicate overstimulation. While a child who is understimulated is more likely to dream or sit limp in his chair like “spaghetti”.
The book also contains a stimulus meter that your child can craft and with this your child can indicate how it feels … Is he either over-stimulated or in excellent alertness to pay attention in class. There are also many tools in it, from deep pressure to chewing chain to wobble pillow. Finally, you can also read how your disruptive behavior can change due to a problem in stimulus processing.
Wiggling and fidgeting at home is actually much like the book wobbling and fidgeting in the classroom, but then also applying strategies for at home. You will also find a family stimulus profile in this book. This allows you to check which stimulus profile prevails in your family. For example, how do they react to stimuli in my family and also a stimulus meter to see how your child is doing, can be found in this book.
The book also pays attention to how you can tackle disruptive behavior through a different stimulus processing. Furthermore, in the book ‘wobbling and fidgeting’ you will find scientifically substantiated theories. And attention is paid to the overlaps with imaginal thinking, autism, ADHD, ADD, high sensitivity and Tourette’s and so on… It also states how many stimuli come in in 1 day and you will be amazed at that! But unfortunately, not everyone can filter them equally well.
This book ‘Help sensory stimuli‘ is purely about stimulus processing and (disturbing or other behavior).
In this book you will learn about what stimulus processing does in the brain and how you can respond to it. It soon becomes clear that stimulus processing is different for everyone. This book is not only for children but also for adults. It describes what a stimulus seeker or a stimulus avoider (over or under stimulation) is, and whether you actively or passively do something with it. To illustrate: does someone who is overstimulated by loud noise continue to put his hands over his ears? Or does the person do nothing to muffle the sound? There is 2 times overstimulation but 2x different behavior. In this book you will regularly find examples.
It also contains tips for each sensory information processing, each in its own way. It also describes which stimulus seekers are a good fit for working together (both children and adults). Think, for example, of a spectator and a stimulus seeker. These can work well together, they are both looking for stimuli and the seeker will take the viewer along in his ideas. Furthermore, this book describes similarities and differences between different diagnoses.
The book ‘Living with sensations‘ deals with stimulus processing and pays attention to ‘spectators’ and ‘stimulus avoiders’. In this book you can also read beautiful examples. Like how differently one can react in a restaurant. For example, a stimulus seeker will quickly find new dishes and sit down at a busier table. A stimulus avoider is more likely to choose a recognizable dish and choose a quiet spot in a corner. The book is also about relationships or parents (so also for adults).
This is, I suspect, one of the first books on sensory information processing in children. But the information from the book ‘out of step‘ can also be applied to (young) adults if you apply stimulus processing in the whole from the book (at least that’s my own opinion).
This book is very extensive and there are many and good/fun examples about what sensory information processing is and how it develops and can express itself in children. Everything is explained separately for each sense. It also states how you can deal with your child’s emotions and what therapies exist. You also read how the daily “normal” things can be so difficult for someone with information processing problems. For those who want a clear and comprehensive book or want to delve into sensory integration? Then this is the most suitable book!
The book ‘Stimuli in the group‘ is mainly written for educators and professionals in healthcare. For people who work or live with people with stimulus processing and intellectual disabilities. The book discusses the behavior of their intellectual disability and related to the sensory processing and the behavior that is expressed as a result.
The book also has separate chapters on autism and ADHD/ADD, the overlaps or often the combination of autism or ADHD/ADD and sensory information processing. The book is scientifically substantiated and contains many recognizable tips and stories from the educators who deal with people with intellectual disabilities and problems in sensory information processing and why this is how it works.
