Product Description
Product Description
Provides parents of children diagnosed with Downs Syndrome, autism and other forms of developmental delay with the information they require and a range of ideas to encourage their child's development. The text suggests games and activities using toys and materials which most children will already have, involving no special preparation. The author divides skills into five areas - social, physical, intellectual, emotional and linguistic - for convenient reference. She deals with general issues, such as behaviour management, toilet-training and sleep-management, which may be encountered by parents of children with any form of disability - physical, learning or sensory. She provides the outline of child development so that parents can place their child's progress. Advice on coping with the stress of having a child with special needs, and information on support parents can expect from health, education and social services is also given. The author includes a comprehensive resources section, which incorporates a bibliography and a list of useful addresses.
From the Author
This book is written by a parent for other parents or carers
When I found out that my son was severely developmentally delayed at one (later diagnosed as autistic), I looked round desperately for a book which would help me understand very early child development and give me ideas for games I could play and things I could do which would help him. I could not find such a book. A few years later I decided to write it myself (Small Steps Forward: Games and Activities to Play with your Pre-school Child with Special Needs). This book is written without jargon and in an accessible style. It is written by a parent for other parents and carers of pre-school children with special needs. It breaks down child development into the areas of language, physical, cognitive, sensory, social and emotional skills and describes normal development in the early years. It then gives lots of examples of games to play to encourage development in each case. I also describe behaviour management techniques, sleep and toilet training as these are common problems. I give guidelines on playing with children generally, strategies for coping with the stresses of being a parent of a child with special needs, information on financial support and the statutory assessment, a bibliography and a list of useful addresses. As a mother of 3 children under 5 years old I know how limited time and resources are, so this book is designed to be instantly appealing and accessible and the games require no special preparation and can be played with the toys and things we all have to hand.
