Product Description
How do you feel when you bite into a pear... wear a feather boa... stand in a noisy auditorium... or look for a friend in a crowd?
Living Sensationally explains how people s individual sensory patterns affect the way we react to everything that happens to us throughout the day. Some people will adore the grainy texture of a pear, while others will shudder at the idea of this texture in their mouths. Touching a feather boa will be fun and luxurious to some, and others will bristle at the idea of all those feathers brushing on the skin. Noisy, busy environments will energize some people, and will overwhelm others.
The author identifies four major sensory types: Seekers; Bystanders; Avoiders and Sensors. Readers can use the questionnaire to find their own patterns and the patterns of those around them, and can benefit from practical sensory ideas for individuals, families and businesses.
Armed with the information in Living Sensationally, people will be able to pick just the right kind of clothing, job and home and know why they are making such choices.

Living Sensationally-Understannding Your Senses May 6, 2008

As an occupational therapist using Dunn's Model of Sensory Processing as a conceptual framwework for my post professional master's thesis, this book provides laymens's terminology rather than the therapy lingo. It is an excellent source to help non-therapists understand themelves and the concepts the therapists use. It is user friendly and has many good ideas for the basic functions of living. I highly recommend it for occupational therapists as a good resource to keep handy for those teaching moments.

I couldn't put this book down. I have read it twice and got more out of it the second time. It really helped me understand my partner and children. Who knew he was an "avoider" and not ignoring me. ha. It can be applied to everyone in your life.

This is a top notch book that clearly explains how the senses affect what happens to you throughout the day. It helps you understand your partner, child, or anyone else you deal with in a relationship and how to make it better. Must read. Best part is that it is a fun read and a quick one. The quiz is a lot of fun.
