Stanley Greenspan, internationally known for his work with infants,
young children, and their families, and his colleague, nationally
recognized child psychologist Serena Wieder, have for the first
time integrated their award-winning research and clinical
experience into a definitive guide to raising children with special
needs. In this essential work they lay out a complete, step-by-step
approach for parents, educators, and others who work with
developmental problems. Covering all kinds of
disabilities--including autism, PPD, language and speech problems,
Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and ADD--the authors offer a new
understanding of the nature of these challenges and also specific
ways of helping children extend their intellectual and emotional
potential.The authors first show how to move beyond labels to
observe the unique profile--strengths and problems--of the
individual child. Next, they demonstrate the techniques necessary
to help the child not only reach key milestones but also develop
new emotional and intellectual capacities. Greenspan's well-known
"floortime" approach enables parents, as well as clinicians, to use
seemingly playful interactions that help children actually move up
the development ladder and often master creative and abstract
thinking formerly thought beyond their reach. Including vivid case
histories, the book also offers deep and compassionate
understanding of the stresses and rewards involved in raising a
child with special needs.whose amazing work with autistic and other
special needs children is nationally known, and his colleague,
child psychologist Serena Wieder, have integrated a lifetime of
research and clinical practice into a single, comprehensive guide
for parents. Covering all kinds of disabilities--including cerebral
palsy, autism, retardation, ADD, PDD, and language problems--the
book offers specific ways of helping all children reach their full
intellectual and emotional potential.First the authors show how to
move beyond the label and observe the strengths and problems of the
particular child and the key milestones that must be reached. Next,
they move step by step through the techniques necessary to help the
child reach these milestones and show how to tailor these to each
child. Finally, with a deep and compassionate understanding they
outline the marital, educational, and social stresses and rewards
in raising a special needs child.
