Book excerpt: Toby, the Terrific and Talented T-Rex FEELS a lot of things very much. As Toby and his mother explore the world, he discovers textures, sounds, and smells that just don't feel very good. In fact, they can be scary. Toby is comforted by his mother and learns that he can take breaks to calm his body. Exploration and adventures are fun, and you set your own pace. That's okay because SOMETIMES THE WORLD CAN FEEL LIKE TOO MUCH! One in six children has sensory processing difficulties. In specific populations, the prevalence is estimated to be as high as 80% to 100% and includes children with autism spectrum disorder, or who have a history of prematurity, fetal alcohol syndrome, or Down syndrome, just to name a few. The percentage of children with disabilities has increased over the last decade. Recent estimates in the United States show that about one in six, or about 17%, of children aged 3 through 17 have one or more developmental disabilities. Developmental disabilities are a group of conditions due to an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. Now is the time to have healthy conversations with our children about differences.
