Communication and social skills are a key challenge for children on
the autism spectrum, and a fundamental priority for care
professionals to support their clients' progress. Using case
studies and evidence-based advice, this book guides readers through
an integrated Theraplay® approach to helping young people on the
autism spectrum. The interventions emphasise interactivity and fun
to help children build social and emotional skills through play.
From using balloons to encourage eye contact to turn-taking play
for fostering social awareness, each Theraplay® activity is
tailored to support children on the autism spectrum and includes
suggestions for further adaptations to suit each child's unique
needs. Parents' and guardians' needs are also addressed in the
context of Theraplay®, examining common sources of frustration and
providing advice on effective treatment plans. Officially supported
by the Theraplay® Institute, this handbook guides readers towards
a thoughtful, focused application of Theraplay® to support
children on the autism spectrum.
