Overview

Parents of young children on the autism spectrum are often at a loss for ideas about how best to help their child. Playing, Laughing and Learning with Children on the Autism Spectrum shows how to break down activities into manageable stages and looks at ways to gain a child's attention. Case studies illustrate how obsession and ritual can be redirected positively and how to build on small achievements. Each chapter centers on a theme: music, art, reading, physical activities, puzzles, playing outdoors and turn taking and can be used for toddlers and older children who struggle with play.
