Sensory Stimulation: Sensory-Focused Activities for People with Physical and Multiple Disabilities (JKP Resource Materials)


Sensory Stimulation: Sensory-Focused Activities for People with Physical and Multiple Disabilities (JKP Resource Materials)

We learn about the world constantly through our senses and by interacting with it. Children explore and play in different environments and in doing so they find out what burns them or hurts them, what can be eaten, which things smell nice and what different sounds signify. This process of exploration and learning continues throughout our lives. Because of physical, sensory or intellectual disabilities many people have not had the same opportunities to explore and interact with their environment.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Very disappointed when this book arrived. This is geared for older children and should state that. Certainly not aimed for 3 to 4 years old.
