Book Description
Based on the belief that every child has a right to participate in a variety of art experiences appropriate to the child's needs and interests, this resource guide offers visual art activities developed specifically for children with autism, Asperger Syndrome and other pervasive developmental disorders who are served in a variety of settings. Focusing on the inherent strenghts and needs of children with these exceptionalities, the book stimulates the senses through manipulation and exploration, arouses curiosity and creativity and develops a sense of mastery. Activities are grouped by primary modality for ease of use. An introductory page to each activity gives background information about the sense, lists vocabulary and related concepts, basic objectives, and required materials. Easy-to-follow step-by-step procedures are illustrated by line drawings. Recommended for parents and educators alike.
Customer Reviews:
best as a resource for teachers.......2002-05-21
I bought this book hoping to find activities to do with my child at home. I ended up giving it to his classroom teacher. Its good,but its better suited for a teacher who wants to do some art activities in the classroom.
Helpful resource........2000-09-05
Each activity is headlined with which senses the activity is meant to stimulate, which is helpful in writing lesson plans, etc. I did not find the ideas especially novel, but it is a good collection altogether.
A practical and useable book!.......2000-04-02
A great resource for teachers of children with Asperger Syndrome and autism! It is fun for both adults and children.
A Must Have for Educators.......2000-04-01
As an autistic support teacher, I have found this book to be an excellent resource and an integral resource when planning lessons. It provides objectives, adaptions, extension activities, and explanations of sensory benefits. In addition, the materials required for these activities are common objects that are very easily obtained. This book is a must have for anyone working to help individuals with autism achieve success.

EVEN THOUGH THE BOOK IS DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN ADULTS ARE LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE AREN'T WE AT A KINDERGARTEN READING LEVEL? I'M EXCITED, THIS IS AN AWSOME BOOK!
Come Sign with Us: Sign Language Activities for Children.......2000-08-06
As a new teacher I find this book to a wonderful inspiartion to teach out of the box. I want to teach Spanish and A.S.L. but wasn't sure how. When I saw this book, it got me even more excited about teaching than I already was. I immediately came up with ideas to intergrate Spanish, A.S.L., and everyday speaking. It may seem silly to some because it was so simple, but the idea to tech them together had not come to me in such a complete form until I saw this book. these are ideas that can be adapted to any topic and cirriculum. Great for new teacher and the veteran trying somthing new or expanded.

An illuminating work and a great handbook.......2007-03-28
This a a refreshing, true hands on gathering of information, just chuck full of great exercises for bringing out the best in those affected by Asperger's Syndrome. Martinovich shares her in depth knowledge very freely, with a keen understanding of what makes these individuals tick, and then follows with terrific activities that are well thought out, truly creative, and actually fun! Therapists, counselors, parents and individuals with Aspergers traits are fortunate to benefit from the brilliance that has brought this comprehensive enlightenment of very workable tools together in such an intelligent and pleasurable way. The book will become an indispensible handbook referred to and used time and time again. Judy's creative spirit is quite remarkable, and her point is that creative effort is the cornerstone for working with this remarkable population. I am a parent of a child with Asperger's, and I wish every teacher and therapist can be sparked with the enthusiasm and energy that Judy has to share. I am grateful for this wonderful work, and the processes in this book will greatly enhance therapist's or counselors experience in working with those who present Asperger's traits.
A Great Resource.......2006-02-12
As a person with Asperger syndrome, this book won brownie points with me straight off when it says in the intro. "The Asperger perspective is just as valid as the non-Asperger perspective". I found the approach described here refreshing and interesting and I wish that I could have gone somewhere to take part in these sorts of activities when I was an adolescent... they actually sound like they would have been quite fun as well as helpful. I'm not a teacher, or a social worker, or a psychologist, and I don't know what you would be looking for in a book like this, but it seems to me like it has got loads of well thought out and explained activities, so I would be surprised if it were to disappoint.

Customer Reviews:
a unique time capsule.......2006-11-19
This book is a great time capsule of movie making Special Effects, pre 'Star Wars' in 1977 when everything, including the attitiude toward special effects in movies changed!
The book focuses on a lot of movies which were in their day ground breaking, and are still vital in the history of visual effects today - Willis O'Brien's 'King Kong' being the most notable example.
There are many interviews and anecdotes from the Hollywood studios of the 30s, 40s and 50s, through to the legendary '2001: A Space Odyssey' and into the early 70's. Significant time is dedicated to stop-motion animation - which for many, many years was the only reasonable way to create decent creature effects.
Overall, the book is a little light on technical details. Techniques are described in concept and many of the processes and issues discussed are not relevant today. e.g. - The pros and cons of back-projection vs front projection which are barely used today.
Throughout though, there is a genuine love and respect for the craftsmanship, as well as the importance of the context for the work - the awe and wonder the images conjure up.
This is a book that I read at an early age and it got me really interested in how special effects were done, and while it did not provide all the answers, it certainly got the creative juices going.
Above all though, it's a great time capsule in that it does not look back fondly in light of what we know today, it literally was written before the rule book got a total overhaul (in 1977), and as such is pretty much unique.
For anyone really interested in the craft of Special Visual Effects - as I am - they should have a place for this on their shelf.
