Paperback. Condición: New. This unique and easy-to-use lesson plan was developed to share information about autism spectrum disorders with general education students, to explain behaviors that might otherwise be misinterpreted as frightening, odd, or rude. Reviewing of the five senses with students creates the perfect introduction to their sixth-or social-sense. Then the perspective-taking activities focus on how other people see, hear, touch, taste, and smell, and how that can affect the way they feel and think. The Sixth Sense II is more comprehensive than the previous release and is appropriate for elementary students ages 7-12. This revised version also includes an FAQ section and a helpful Resource Guide!

Paperback. Condición: New. Developing healthy visual-motor abilities is more difficult in the complex stimulus of today's world than ever before. Our visual experiences can be overwhelmed by the vast complexity of artificial colors and sounds which did not exist in our ancestors' lives. Much more time is spent indoors, exposed to a myriad of unnatural colors, movement and imagery. We hibernate inside, interacting with machines instead of being out in the sunlight, looking at the far horizons, exploring natural environments. More and more time is spent sitting rather than moving, watching rather than doing. Here is a book that has: An overview of the development of vision, with a checklist of warning signs of vision problems-based on the studies of behavioral optometry; A discussion of the importance of integrating all the senses equally in the development of optimal visual skills, rooted in the field of occupational therapy; Practical, playful activities designed to improve visual skills in both adults and children. Excellent for use at home, in the clinic, at school, or amid outdoor settings.

Paperback. Condición: New. Carol Gray combines stick-figures with "conversation symbols" to illustrate what people say and think during conversations. Showing what people are thinking reinforces that others have independent thoughts?a concept that spectrum children don't intuitively understand. Children can also recognize that, although people say one thing, they may think something quite different?another concept foreign to "concrete-thinking" children. Children can draw their own "comic strips" to show what they are thinking and feeling about events or people. Different colors can represent different states of mind. These deceptively simple comic strips can reveal as well as convey quite a lot of substantive information.The author delves into topics such as:What is a Comic Strip Conversation?The Comic Strip Symbols DictionaryDrawing "small talk"Drawing about a given situationDrawing about an upcoming situationFeelings and COLOR.
