But author Toni Flowers knows better. Art encourages communication, positive self-image, concept development, spatial relationships, fine-motor skills, and many more facets of healthy child development. In this book, she provides dozens of artistic activities (called "experiences") that will delight children with autism. Notes on each activity page offer helpful do's and don'ts, along with many real-life experiences Toni encountered while working with children on each activity. Give the children in your life the opportunity to express themselves! | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 USEFUL Book that helps with Sensory IntegrationJan 26, 2003
As a mother of an child with autism, I found Reaching the Child with Autism through Art to be indespensible. The activities are fun and simple and don't take expensive supplies. I feel that these type activities were helpful with my son's sensory integration skills, especially tactile awareness. All the activities are tried and true since the author began teaching in 1968 and had extensive experience from which to draw. I would think that any classroom teacher of children on the autism spectrum would find this book useful but as a homeschooling mom it got us through many days.

 Not userfulSep 11, 2009

"Chachi"
Very disappointed when this book arrived. This is geared for older children and should state that. Certainly not aimed for 3 to 4 years old.

 Don't Waste Your MoneyMar 28, 2008
By S. E. Miller
"millese2"
As an Elementary Art Teacher, I can say to any professional that is on a budget, save your money. This book feels like "jotted" notes in a notebook. Lacks visuals and description. Contains everything you probably already use. Unprofessionally written, unscholarly, lacks resourceful background information and is overall a complete disservice to teachers.

The ideas in this book are great for the autistic child, but as a teacher I can see using these ideas with all students! This is a wonderful resource.

art bookOct 16, 2005
By D. Tarr
I was very disappointed with this book. As a former preschool teacher, none of the projects in the book were new to me. I was hoping for some special projects to do w/ my autistic son, but we have already done them all.
