Strategies to Support Children with Autism and other Complex Needs bridges the gap between explaining what autism is and finding ways to interact through having a balance of play activities interspersed with more formal teaching of skills of everyday living. This highly practical text provides a bank of strategies that are specially designed to be matched to the developmental status of each child. These strategies are endorsed by academics who have monitored the children’s responses in communicating, pretending, playing, moving, and singing and describe how the children have responded positively over time.  This book covers a variety of topics such as:           The importance of play for enhancing learning for children with autism and other complex needs      Evaluating different ways of developing communication      Transferring learning from one environment to another to aid memorizing.      Understanding the impact of sensory hypo and hyperactivity on children’s learning.      Developing a ‘Theory of Mind’      The importance of movement, music and having fun     Observation and assessment schedules are provided, along with clear and helpful evaluation forms which show staff in primary and early years settings how children on the autistic spectrum can be helped to make meaningful and encouraging progress.   This text is an vital read for any practitioners working with children on the autistic spectrum or with complex learning difficulties.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595120222481,"sku":"GOR008467675","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50047749914897,"sku":"NGR9781138918931","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51020129632529,"sku":"NIN9781138918931","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52431630958865,"sku":"NLS9781138918931","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138918938.jpg?v=1751423872"},{"product_id":"gifted-and-talented-children-4-11-book-christine-macintyre-9780415464925","title":"Gifted and Talented Children 4-11","description":"Responding directly to current thinking in education, this book raises practitioners expectations, and shows you how to identify children in your class as gifted and talented.

Each activity uses rhymes and jingles and some have music. This is to enhance the children's rhythmic ability, their listening skills and their phonological awareness.

The material shows how the learning outcomes fulfil the criteria set out in the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage and the 5-14 Guidelines (Expressive Arts). The activities will be great fun for all children, whether they find movement easy and are always on the look-out for challenges, or whether they are less confident. The book aims to support teachers in their work to help all children fulfill their potential, offering guidance on diagnosis and assessment of skills and weaknesses as well as observation and progression.   Chapters include developing the basic movement patterns: gross movements, fine movements and manipulative skills; developing sensory integration; teaching and observing movement; and detailed lesson plans.   All children, whatever their level of ability, can be helped to be more confident and competent movers - a process which often also results in improved self-esteem.
