LEARNING THROUGH PLAY

One of the best ways for children with autism, Asperger's, and sensory processing disorders to learn is through play. Children improve their motor skills, language skills, and social skills by moving their bodies and interacting with their environment. Yet the biggest challenges parents, teachers, and loved ones face with children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing disorders is how to successfully engage them in play.

Pediatric occupational therapist Tara Delaney provides the answer. In 101 Games and Activities for Children with Autism, Asperger's, and Sensory Processing Disorders, she shows you how to teach your children by moving their bodies through play. These interactive games are quick to learn but will provide hours of fun and learning for your child. And many of the games can be played indoors or outdoors, so your child can enjoy them at home, outside, or on field trips.

More than one hundred games that help your child:

• make eye-contact, stay focused, and strengthen his or her motor skills
• associate words with objects and improve language and numerical skills
• learn how to interact with others, how to take turns, and other social skills needed for attending preschool and school

Purposeful Retirement is a thought-provoking overview of the many diverse retirement lifestyles that Americans pursue. As technology is transforming what was once "the traditional retirement model," readers are challenged to literally create their own preferred retirement lifestyle based upon their unique needs and preferences.

This easy read may well cause some current and soon-to-be retirees to re-think their retirement lifestyle choices and how to best spend what the author refers to as their "best third." Others will simply appreciate this glimpse into how some of their contemporaries are following uniquely different paths. For those inclined to further explore the possibility of joining this intrepid new breed of retirees, the reader is introduced to an electronic venue that encourages and facilitates a creative interaction with like-minded folks. Regardless of where you stand on this subject, you will definitely enjoy this journey into the realm of alternative futures.

Raising children in an art-rich environment encourages their creativity, imagination, and self-confidence.

The book includes basic information about getting started, stocking up on art supplies, setting up an art space, and talking to children about art.

They are accessible, developmentally appropriate, enjoyable, and use basic art supplies. Each activity includes easy-to-understand instructions, age guidelines, and variations.

With over sixty activities, the projects are organized by themes that make fitting art projects into a family's lifestyle easier. These themes include quick and easy art; exploring new materials and techniques; action art; quiet art for downtimes and transitions; and art for playdates, parties, and groups.

The activities include:

   • Simon Says, Draw!: This activity, an art-based form of the classic Simon Says, is a great intro to art making for the whole family.
   • Body Tracing and Painting: Get children seeing and thinking about their bodies by doing actual-size paintings.

So, you've finally made that big decision to welcome a dog into your own home.

I know that picking the right dog for you was both fun and exciting.

But finally making your choice and bringing home that four-legged, cute little creature actually requires more than what you have imagined.

• Is your home ready to take in your new dog?


• How safe is your house to keep your new pet in?


• Have you adjusted your schedule to take on this new challenge of taking care of something that grows and moves on all fours?


• How well prepared are you to take on this new responsibility?

In this book I will provide you with proper guidelines on things to do before bringing your pet home.


Find out how you can "dog proof" your house by reading through this comprehensive step by step guide on how best to help you dog adjust quickly.

Just like bringing home a toddler, you need to know what pet accessories are more useful, what dog food is right for your pet, how to handle emergency situations, and find out all the answers on frequently asked questions on taking care of a dog for the first time.

Learn how to make the necessary adjustments on your schedule and arrangements on your house to accommodate your new found friend.

Learn from the experts on how they've managed to maintain a simple routine for their pets to make the experience more fun and stress free.

Once you have learned how to train your dog properly to follow a simple routine, you can enjoy having your pet at home and both of you will have fun together.


Someone said, "Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail."

Yes, if you show your dog some love, he'll be more than happy to return the favor ten-fold.

And making a special place for him in your house can make that difference.
