Description
Building Underdeveloped Sensorimotor Systems: A Model for Practice by Sarah Lloyd offers a unique approach to supporting children who have experienced early adversity. This book presents the Building Underdeveloped Sensorimotor Systems (BUSS) model, which identifies and assesses gaps in a child's sensorimotor systems. The author advocates for rebuilding these gaps using games and activities that take place within loving parent-child relationships, providing a healthy foundation for sensorimotor skill development. A section on parents' experiences with these activities adds a valuable perspective to the book. By applying the principles outlined in this model, practitioners can help children build a solid base from which to develop their sensory integration skills.
