Reaching the Child with Autism Through Art

It is no secret that the arts are often underestimated when it comes to education. 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! Helpful sections include:

• Choices
• Definitions
• Collage Experiences
• Painting Experiences
• Play Experiences
• Sculpture Experiences
