Summary
When the inner ear's ability to sense sound and movement breaks down during early life, there can be wide-ranging developmental consequences. Sound Advice integrates the personal stories of a pediatric occupational therapist with current science on why some children struggle to learn and adapt. Sound Advice explores these often therapeutically ignored senses as the gateway to the brain. Treating them can help children with SPD, autism and ADHD more easily connect with the world around them.
Take "Sound Advice" on:
- The hidden functions of hearing in paying attention.
- The "background" sensation of the vestibular system.
- How glitches in sensory systems can derail normal development.
- Developmentally-effective therapies and interventions.
- Empowering yourself to support your child's way of learning about the world.
Critic reviews
"When I began my SPD journey with my daughter, there was almost nothing for parents who knew their child struggled, but had nowhere to turn to for answers. Over the years, after many other parents shared their stories and fabulous resources like Robin's book, the world of SPD isn't a mystery anymore. Including Sound Advice on your SPD reference shelf is a must."—Chynna Laird, author of The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom's Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD
"Why does your child struggle? In her highly informative and readable book, Robin Abbott uses her extensive clinical experience and keen powers of observation to help you look into your child's mind, sense the world the way he or she does, and, with this new understanding, seek out the most effective therapies."—Susan R. Barry, PhD, author of Fixing My Gaze and Coming to Our Senses, Professor Emeritus of Biology and Neuroscience, Mount Holyoke College

What stood out to me most is how practical it is. The advice is realistic and easy to apply in everyday life, especially around understanding sensory needs and supporting your child in a calm, thoughtful way. It doesn’t feel overly clinical—it feels like guidance you can actually use.
As an audiobook, it’s also very easy to listen to and absorb, even when you’re busy. It feels supportive, encouraging, and grounded in real-life experience.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this to any parent looking for gentle, practical guidance and a better understanding of their child. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Supportive, Practical, and Easy to Relate To
