Description: Autism, Play and
Social Interaction" is a fully illustrated guide that explains how to help
children with autism spectrum disorders engage in interactive play, which is
vital for the acquisition of social skills and attention to shared activities.
The authors explain how to set up suitably structured play environments, games
schedules and play routines, and how to use visual aids and other props to
facilitate co-operative play and interaction.
Common
children's games have been adapted to accommodate children with autism spectrum
disorders and range from simple interaction, such as 'putting-in' and 'give and
take', to more complex games like 'hide and seek', 'sound-lotto' and 'spin the
bottle', as well as games that teach social behaviour, such as exchanging toys
and engaging with other children for play opportunities. This is a practical
and accessible book for parents and teachers of children with autism spectrum
disorders, as well as professionals working with these children.
