One of the resources listed was new to me is Self Help Warehouse. I found a story telling glove with velcro puppets for $7.95. That would have been fun when my kids were younger. The site also has Spanish resources.

The back of the ebook explains about the company and Angelman Syndrome. There are some products from Cafe Press too. Suggestions for Sensory-Rich Activities is a good start for families just learning about sensory issues their child is having. It explains how to apply various items around the house into therapy tools to help the child. There is no glossary, but not many terms you would need to know, just the basic senses.
