Future Books in the Series:
We are currently working on the next books to come out in the Barrett’s Sensory Series. We hope that parents, caregivers and children will find supportive and useful ideas to help with the senses: proprioceptive, tactile, vestibular, visual, auditory, olfactory and gustatory.

Also of interest:
Along with the marketing of this book, we will also provide behind the scenes videos of the illustrator drawing the series on the series facebook and website page.

Audience:
This series is being written with various readers in mind:

General parenting – On some level, we all have sensory needs and this series provides fun parent/child reading with ideas which can be applied by nearly any family that reads them.
Families with children who have sensory needs -This book offers many tips and tricks that can be tried at home.
Families prepping a child for a therapy session – Much like a “trip to the doctor/dentist” book.
School classrooms dealing with a particular sensory issue – These books will be great conversation starters about common sensory topics.
Children who feel they have an issue which makes them feel isolated – This is a great “Hey, that sounds like me!” story.
Pediatrician / Therapy center waiting rooms – This book will introduce different types of sessions so that families know more what to expect.
