Book Description
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.

 great book December 11, 2007
I thought that this was a great book. it really focuses on younger children, most other books that I have read are geared towards older kids. There were a lot of practical ideas and simple things that you could do with your child.

I found this book to be a great resource. It's a very gentle, child-centered way to promote interactive play with children on the spectrum. The examples are creative and easy to follow and most of the materials you can make yourself. Highly recommended!

I am a speech-language pathologist who works with autistic children and the mother of an autistic child. I found this book to have good information. It isn't too clinical, so a parent without specialized training could easily follow the advice offered. Play is so important for children with autism, but it is hard to know what to do when a child isn't interested in interacting with you. This book gives excellent advice on how to get a child to want to play with you.
Wonderful book January 9, 2007

This book is about learning how to work, act, and play with a child on the spectrum. The book is written in plain english, which makes it very easy to understand and incoperate the play ideas. I enjoyed this book. However my few critisms are that some of the links and references in the back of the book are mostly UK sites. Also, if you want to learn more about behavioral modification programs like ABA or TEACCH techniques, this is not the book for you. Basically, this book gives the reader creative ideas of how to interact with an autistic child. This book is great for parents and therapists. Its a book i think everyone should read, whether you have an autistic child or not. There are several useful ideas, even working with "typical" children.
