Playfulness is important; it creates an alternative space where
emotional, cognitive and social dimensions can be explored and
tested. This highly practical book explores the endless
possibilities of using playful, creative and interactive activities
to meaningfully engage with children with multiple learning
difficulties or autistic spectrum disorders. The author presents
playfulness as 'an experimental frame of mind', and encourages
practitioners to play with roles, ideas, words, concepts and
objects in order to enhance relationships and interventions. By
providing accessible steps to playfulness, this text explores some
of the contemporary issues surrounding the education of children
with severe learning needs, in particular the use of 'intensive
interaction'. This text considers different areas of creative
interactive work for practitioners to draw inspiration from,
including: Music Interactive Musical Movement Finger Dance Story
and Drama Artwork Reflective Circle. The varied array of tried and
tested original activities have been devised to encourage the
development of social interaction, cognition, play, experimentation
and creativity, in particular but not exclusively, for children
whose learning needs are more complex. The author also invites
teachers working in mainstream, particularly early years and
primary education, to investigate the creative possibilities
inherent in playfulness and to use the activities in this book to
enhance the learning environment. This text offers an abundance of
advice, practical strategies and tips for teachers working in
special and mainstream early years and primary education.
Practitioners such as therapists, care workers, community musicians
and creative arts specialists will also find this book useful.
