This is the first book to address the design needs of older people
in the outdoor environment. It provides information on design
principles essential to built environment professionals who want to
provide for all users of urban space and who wish to achieve
sustainability in their designs. Part one examines the changing
experiences of people in the outdoor environment as they age and
discusses existing outdoor environments and the aspects and
features that help or hinder older people from using and enjoying
them. Part two presents the six design principles for 'streets for
life' and their many individual components. Using photographs and
line drawings, a range of design features are presented at all
scales of the outdoor environment from street layouts and building
form to signs and detail. Part three expands on the concept of
'streets for life' as the ultimate goal of inclusive urban design.
These are outdoor environments that people are able to confidently
understand, navigate and use, regardless of age or circumstance,
and represent truly sustainable inclusive communities.

78 SKILLS AND DRILLS FOR OPTIMUM CHILD DEVELOPMENTRaindrops on
Roman and Whiskers on Kittens...These are a few of my favorite
things...Songs, rhymes, and a large repertoire of fun-filled
methods bubbled out of this exemplary creative mother, Elizabeth
Scott, to gently and firmly teach her son to overcome symptoms of
autism.Raindrops on Roman will move you to tears, punctuated with a
few bursts of spontaneous laughter, as you marvel at this touching
true story. You will learn very specific skills and drills that she
used, what materials to obtain to implement them, and what areas
each activity helps to develop and improve. This is a must-have
book for all parents and every professional working with children
who have autism.Elizabeth became an educator and spent her career
prior to Roman as a teacher. Hopefully, the new recommendations by
the American Academy of Pediatrics (screening for autism for all
children at 18 and 24 months), along with stories like Roman's will
help countless children overcome autism in the future. - Dr. Robert
