Massage techniques are widely and effectively used in treatment of
autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) to address sensory issues, motor
problems and touch receptivity. However, the variety of different
styles of massage available often leaves parents baffled and unsure
about which touch therapy treatment is best for their child. This
practical guide explains how massage works, how the body senses
touch, and how touch therapy can benefit children with ASDs. The
book goes on to describe exactly what each type of massage entails
and covers anatomy-oriented massages, energy-based massages and
therapeutic bodywork, helping readers to tell Reiki from
reflexology, a Swedish from a sports massage, or tuina from a Thai
massage. With recommendations for selecting the right style of
massage, advice on locating a practitioner, and tips on preparing a
child with an ASD for massage, this book is the perfect resource to
find a therapy - or combination of therapies - to suit the
individual needs of each child. This book will be essential reading
for all parents and caregivers interested in the benefits of
therapeutic massage and bodywork for children and adolescents with
ASDs, and practitioners looking at alternatives for therapeutic
intervention.
