Creative Play Activities for Children With Disabilities: A Resource Book for Teachers and Parents
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this book you will discover 250 games and activities designed to help infants to 8-year-olds with all types of disabilities grow through play. Many activities describe special adaptations for physically, visually, and hearing impaired children and for emotionally and mentally handicapped children.
Each chapter focuses on a particular "world," or activity theme. Themes include exploring the world of the senses; active games with rolling, crawling, walking, and more; building and creating; imaginative outdoor fun and water play; music play; and group games and activities.
Each activity lists detailed directions, needed equipment, the activity's benefits, and any possible adaptations for children with particular disabilities.
Creative Play Activities for Children With Disabilities is the only book to emphasize the continuity between home and program activities by addressing both the concerns of parents guiding their children's activities at home and the issues faced by educators in program settings.
Developed in conjunction with the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation, these creative play activities will help confidence and self-esteem blossom as young children meet success in activities that are fun.

"Lisa Rappaport Morris and Linda Schulz have written the second edition of an excellent resource for adults, both teachers and parents, who work with young children with disabilities. Their approach is instructionally sound as well as playful. . . . Written in clear, understandable language, the book introduces teachers and parents to the importance of play in the lives of families and all children including those who are disabled. . . . This text is a good 'starter set' of play activities for children up through age eight. It provides an excellent foundation and series of examples that can be useful at home and in the classroom. The authors are to be commended for their revision of this text and provision of such a useful resource for parents and for those who work with young children.
