Praise for the first edition:
`An approachable and practical edition that will be welcomed by parents and carers alike. I know how hard it can be to find "How to" resources for parents. Well here is a gem.'
- Children, Young People and Families
Parents of young children newly diagnosed as on the autism spectrum are often at a loss for ideas about how best to help their child. Playing, Laughing and Learning with Children on the Autism Spectrum is not just a collection of play ideas; it shows how to break down activities into manageable stages, and looks at ways to gain a child's attention and motivation and to build on small achievements.
Each chapter covers a collection of ideas around a theme, including music, art, physical activities, playing outdoors, puzzles, turn-taking and using existing toys to create play sequences. There are also chapters on introducing reading and making the most of television. This updated second edition contains an extensive chapter on how to use the computer, the internet and the digital camera to find and make resources and activities, and suggests many suitable websites to help parents through the internet maze. The ideas are useful both for toddlers and primary age children who are still struggling with play.

This book has the clearest descriptions that I've seen for parents telling them how to engage their child with autism in play. It also has wonderful lists of resources on the web, and toys/materials that can be particularly engaging for children with autism. As a special education teacher working with preschoolers, I also found this book to have new ideas for me too.

I have an autistic son who is 4 years old now. He was diagnosed when he was 2 1/2 years old and I wish I had bought this book right from the start. There are so many great ideas and it's pratical for a child that's anywhere on the spectrum. The great thing about the activities are that they can be adapted and modified to your specific child. I would recommend this for sure to any parent or teacher with an autistic child.

As a psychologist, I have often doubted the epidemic of diagnosis on
the autism spectrum but I found this book useful whether the diagnosis
is appropriate or not for kids that need more sensory stimulation and
creative play.
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Parents of kids newly diagnosed as having autism are often concerned bout how to interact with their child for maximum effectiveness. Playing, Laughing and Learning with Children on the Autism Spectrum is more than just a book about how to play with such a child: it shows how to break down activities into manageable stages, gain a child's attention, and build on play-oriented achievements for broader impact. Any parent with an autistic child will find this a winning guide, as will educators working with special education kids.
By A. Myers (Littleton, WV)
there are a few good ideas in this book, not exactly for me, but perhaps for others. I always find that it seems that they reach to hard to try and fill these types of books with activities, just take the concepts here and apply to each individual child is what I say!
