I’ll Tell You Why I Can’t Wear Those Clothes! by Noreen O’Sullivan

Description

If your child hates the feel of certain clothes, they might have tactile defensiveness, a little-known condition that causes hypersensitivity to certain touch sensations. This book is written from the perspective of a child with tactile defensiveness, using both illustrations and text to explain reasons why they become emotionally overwhelmed by tasks like putting on clothes, socks, and shoes. The workbook format lets kids use either drawings or words to explain their own behaviors to their parent, teacher, or therapist as they read together.
