|
An excellent video/DVD, practical and full of ideas for parents and professionals on how to keep a child with autism engaged through what comes naturally to most children - play. Embracing Play shows dozens of play sessions between parent or professional and child. The children shown have all been diagnosed with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. They range in age from 2.5 to 4.5 years. • Using a technique called "Object Focused Play", developed by the Behavioral Intervention Association, the video teaches how to use toys to capture a child's attention and initiate learning. This technique uses "entry points", activities that most interest a specific child (e.g. dropping a ball or pouring water), to set the foundation for simple play routines that are gradually expanded into more symbolic play. Play scenes are very easy to follow and replicate. • This video is recommended for parents, caregivers, and anyone working with young autistic children. • Developed by Hilary Baldi and Deanne Detmers, founders and directors of the Behavioral Intervention Association in Emeryville, CA, a non-profit organization that provides early intervention programs to children with autism and their families. 47 minutes, 2000. |
