Product Description

Product Description

Many children on the autistic spectrum seem to be at a very early developmental stage in their play, which tends to be less spontaneous, exploratory and varied than that of other children. This handbook describes different play sequences which encourage the integration of social, emotional and cognitive development in autistic children. The easy-to-follow play strategies focus on the four key skills visualizing, imitation, mirroring and turn-taking. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs, and includes a questionnaire for observing and accessing play interventions. The authors combine an accessible developmental approach with practical tried-and-tested play strategies. The work is designed to enable parents to nurture their child's social and cognitive development, and should inform the practice of professionals working in close contact with children on the autistic spectrum.

5.0 out of 5 stars A short but valuable book, 17 Jun 2009
By FILIP Marius "adna" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Autism and Play (Paperback)
Autism and play haven't been connected much, although the problem has been outlined since Lovaas' time.

This book has three great merits:
1) it offers a cognitive model for autism which goes beyond the mainstream understanding of this disorder.
2) it gives a short list of games and discusses the benefits of each - with applicability to other games. As a bonus: a development scale from the perspective of play.
3) it is short and written in a friendly style which makes it appealing to people without training in psychology or psychiatry.

What this book is not:
1) a large collection of games.
2) a complete guide to design a play therapy.
3) a book for fun activities with your children (autistic or not).

If you work with a child with autism, this is a valuable and much needed resource.
