Overview

Teaching Playskills to Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders is a comprehensive manual encompassing the many elements of play and how they can be incorporated into the lives of children with developmental delays. Written accessibly and intimately, Dr. Smith gives both parents and professionals a concrete look into the dynamic world of play and how it affects and applies to our exceptional children. The guide begins by defining play and delineating methods of developing and teaching playskills. It addresses everything from building toys to games and music, to sensory and physical play as well as imaginative play. The final chapters deal with the important yet challenging aspects of peer interactions and the dynamics of playgroups for preschool and school age children.

The progression of playskills is a key element in development. In fostering and encouraging our exceptional children to learn how to play, we are assisting them in their progression toward the mainstream. Teaching Playskills is an invaluable manual for families that are participating in their children's home- or center-based intervention programs and need guidance on how to incorporate age-appropriate playskills into daily living.

    A disappointment!

    I ordered this book with high hopes, after visiting Melinda's website. However, the book was a disappointment. It contained VERY little information about the development of playskills in typical children, stages of play, and what skills should be taught first. Instead, the book was more of a personal narrative; a collection of the author's personal experiences in teaching her own son how to play, and excerpts of notes written by her child's therapists. The information was too specific to her high-functioning child to be of use to many parents and professionals who work with children at different levels. Much of the book was comprised of the same lists available on her website. Save yourself the money, and buy another, more useful book.
