Book Reviews of Creative Therapy for Children With Autism, ADD, and Asperger

Book Review: Interesting Therapy
Summary: 4 Stars

I have skimmed through this book, reading chapters that I THINK pertain to our situation. We have twin boys with varying degress of autism. There a LOT of interesting and useful ideas in this book that we will be able to implement beyond what our current therapies offer (like on weekends and downtime, etc). The only reason I didn't give it 5 starts is that I haven't read every page and given it my full attention. This book does offer a great variety of ideas.

Summary of Creative Therapy for Children With Autism, ADD, and Asperger

It is no easy task to find a teaching technique that can truly change the course of a child with special needs. Thirty years ago, when Janet Tubbs began working with children who had low self-esteem and behavioral problems, she developed a successful program using art, music, and movement. Believing that unconventional children required unconventional therapies, she then took her program one step further--she applied it to children with Autism, AD/HD, and Asperger's Syndrome. Her innovative methods and strategies not only worked, but actually defied the experts. In this new book, Janet Tubbs has put together a powerful teaching tool to help parents, therapists, and teachers work with their children. The book is divided into four parts. Part One begins by introducing and explaining Janet's novel approach to teaching. Her goal is to balance the child's body, mind, and spirit through proven techniques. The next three parts provide a wide variety of exercises, activities, and games that are both fun and effective. Each is designed to reduce hyperactivity, increase and prolong focus, decrease anger, develop fine motor skills, or improve social and verbal skills. All are part of a program created to help these children relate to their environment without fear, anxiety, or discomfort. Just because a child may appear stubborn and difficult, doesn't mean that the child isn't intelligent, curious, or creative. With the right approach, such a child can be reached, taught, and, hopefully, started on the road to improvement. The daily lessons provided in this book may be just what you and your child have been waiting for.
