Sarah Lloyd is a specialist occupational therapist and play therapist who has worked in CAMHS for 25 years. She has worked as part of specialist therapeutic teams for looked after children. She also offers training and consultation privately and through the adoption and fostering agency PAC-UK. Sarah is particularly experienced in working with children who have experienced trauma and neglect using a neurodevelopmental approach, bringing together trauma, attachment, and sensory integration theory and practice. She lives in the UK.

I found this book fascinating as it gave such an insight into the development of the brain in babies, the importance of good early experiences and what happens when this is not the case. I am a foster carer who at present looks after two girls with quite complex needs. I found this book really helped me to understand some of the problems and difficulties that the children displayed. I had the children commando crawling around the floor and was shocked to realise one of the children couldn't do this, she just lay there. The book has lots of practical activities that you can do with children which I found really helpful. I would recommend this book to parents, carers, teachers and anybody else who works with or looks after children as it is an amazing tool.
