Google Preview: 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.; Preface. 1.Introduction. 2.Educational Approach to Playing. 3.Organizing Games. 4.Examples of Games. 5.Epilogue. Bibliography. Index.; The games are simple to prepare and play; many require only a balloon or two or some colored pieces of paper. However, consultants and teachers Gammeltoft and Nordenhof have found that carefully adapting games and ensuring that locations of play feel safe to children with autism can result in significant progress. They take an educational approach to playing, noting that the goal of such play for children with autism is to increase social interaction and create shared playing and working experiences. They emphasize the visual as they show how to organize games so children know the limits of pay and receive individual systems of support. They describe how to set up and play 19 games ranging from the very simple (such as give-and-take) to the complex (such as spin the bottle) and those with social rules such as exchanging toys.; Download; Google Preview content
