Description
Teaching Play to Children with Autism: Practical Interventions Using Identiplay is a comprehensive guide for professionals working with children on the autistic spectrum. This approach, known as Identiplay, uses play scripts to promote social skills, imagination, and exploration, helping young people develop reciprocal play with adults or peers. The book provides detailed theory behind the approach, along with practical scripts and case studies, making it an invaluable resource for those working in settings where children with autism are present. The new edition includes additional guidance on developing your own scripts, assessing current play skills, and using visual/verbal support, as well as links to useful resources. A supporting CD-ROM contains video clips of the intervention in practice, printable scripts, and a PowerPoint presentation for professional training, making this book an essential tool for anyone working with young children who have autism or communication difficulties.
