Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Voted 'Teacher of the Year' by The Austism Society of America, Toni Flowers has more than twenty years of experience teaching individuals with autism. She believes all children benefit from art because it encourages creativity. As a result, children with autism may find a form of expression when they've been handicapped by delayed and/or disturbed language skills and/or abnormal sensory responses. Reaching the Child with Autism Through Art offers teachers and parents specific tools and 'plans' in four mediums; collage, painting, play and sculpture.

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.

I am afraid I can't submit much of a review. The Kipper DVDS were for our grandson for Christmas, and he really enjoyed them very much. He is autistic and is under treatment for that. He is making much progress, but still has a lot of time to go. The book on autism was for my daughter who is devoting a lot of time toward helping him. The book was very useful for that. Thanks for asking! Ellen Lock

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.

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.

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.
