The authors present movement differences as part of the spectrum of human diversity affecting action, speech, perception, and emotions. Differences can become disturbances, mask competencies and reflect negatively on persons labeled retarded, autistic, or similarly disabled. Accommodations tailored to each person's unique pattern of movement difference and diversity can promote communication, reveal competencies and restore dignity to people who have too often been marginalized by society. Highly recommended.

enlightenment on a dark issue,
By claire irthum (San Luis Obispo county.Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Movement Differences and Diversity in Autism-Mental Retardation: Appreciations and Accommodations People With Communications and Behavior Challenges (Paperback)
This book outlines and associates autism with descriptive and accurate clarity. The reasoning is logical and the examples are useful to an educator. The single most helpful thread is the ability the author possesses to communicate the feelings and prospective that autistic people are processing.Ms.Donnallan realises that there are so many different manifestations of the condition and provides great insight into the autistic persons point of view. This is particularily beneficial to the instructor as a tool to aid progress, especially in a contruct classroom environment. With mainsteaming and full inclusion being the direction of educating autistic students this book is a bible for getting up to speed for the assigment of educating a special needs/autistic child and also gives good advice in socialising the reg ed students to the introduction of this new person into the classroom. The book shows understanding and enlightenment as a great leveler.
