5.0 out of 5 stars
A short but valuable book, June 16, 2009
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.
