Review Quotes:
As a pediatric Occupational Therapist specializing in Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) for over forty years, I have found that helping families and communities understand what children with SPD face daily to be a daunting task. This wonderful and entertaining new book, "Noah's Intense Day," written through the eyes of Noah and his brother Shaun, brings the components of sensory processing to life, making the obstacles that these children encounter feel relatable and tangible for readers. In my opinion, this book will help countless families, schools, and medical professionals understand what children with Sensory Processing Disorder face every day.

This book will spark meaningful conversations with children about disabilities and how we all share similarities and differences. A challenging concept is explained in a gentle and kid-friendly manner. Noah's Intense Day is a must-read for all elementary school classrooms.
