The Twins' Sensory Smarts

Summary
"Strawberry & Cracker are twins with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) who live with their grandmother. In The Twins’ Sensory Smarts, Strawberry and Cracker emphasize their sensory challenges and ways they have learned to cope with the problem. Touch, smells, textures, sounds, and lights, affect children with sensory issues causing negative behavioral responses. Having strategies in place to lessen the effect of sensory overload is vital to a less stressful day. The twins’ strategies go from obvious to whimsical, sometimes involving their grandma, and her dog, Thunder. Whatever it takes to reduce the overload is okay with the twins." -- book jacket
