LEARNING THROUGH PLAY

One of the best ways for children with autism, Asperger's syndrome, and sensory processing disorders to learn is through play. Children improve their motor skills, language abilities, and social skills by interacting with their environment. However, the biggest challenges faced by parents, teachers, and loved ones with children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing disorders are how to successfully engage them in play. Pediatric occupational therapist Tara Delaney provides the answer.

In the book 101 Games and Activities for Children with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, and Sensory Processing Disorders, she shows how to teach your children through play. These interactive games are quick to learn but will offer hours of fun and learning. Many of the games can be played indoors or outdoors, so your child can enjoy them at home, outside, or on educational outings.

Over one hundred games that help your child:

• make eye contact, stay focused, and strengthen their motor skills
• associate words with objects and improve their language and numerical abilities
• learn how to interact with others, how to take turns, and other social skills needed to attend kindergarten and school
