LEARNING THROUGH PLAY One of the best ways for children with autism, Asperger's, and sensory processing disorders to learn is through play. Children improve their motor skills, language skills, and social skills by moving their bodies and interacting with their environment. Yet the biggest challenges parents, teachers, and loved ones face with children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing disorders is how to successfully engage them in play. Pediatric occupational therapist Tara Delaney provides the answer. In 101 Games and Activities for Children with Autism, Asperger's, and Sensory Processing Disorders, she shows you how to teach your children by moving their bodies through play. These interactive games are quick to learn but will provide hours of fun and learning for your child.

101 Games and Activities for Children With Autism, Asperger’s and Sensory Processing Disorders was very helpful not just in giving ideas for activities, but in explaining why those activities are therapeutic and exactly which areas of a child's development they are focused on. Delaney gives first-hand experience as a therapist on many of the activities. She has had exposure to a wide range of children on the spectrum, and this is helpful to any parent who would read this book.

Review:
"The Red Bike" by Tara Delaney
My Opinion:
"The Red Bike" was quite an exciting story about Abigail Gallagher and her mother Rebecca, who couldn't get along. Now, why was this? Well, believe it or not, sometimes children are placed into a situation of hearing things they should not have heard! And this is what had happened to Abigail, and it seemed to mess up her life with anger toward her mother. This author works to get the reader to understand what had gone on earlier from the read; it is found that maybe there is more to this story that Abigal thought she knew, but had she gotten it all wrong? While all of this is going on, it seems that Abigail has problems with commitment. What was going on with her and Ryan? Was she committed to the relationship with Ryan or not? One would feel sorry for poor Ryan because one could tell he loved Abigail, but the way she acted still had a lot to do with her upbringing. As the story continues, Abby finally realizes how wrong she had been about her mother's past. It was so good to see that ...well, I will stop here and say this is a story; I would recommend it being picked up and see how well this author brings it all out with a great understanding of how much love and protection this mother had for her child. The interweaving about 'The Red Bike' was so beautiful as it is brought into the story of its essential. All in all, this story will keep your attention as one keeps turning the page to see what is coming next.
