Child Development

Abstract

Les statistiques le confirment : les enfants sont plus sédentaires qu?avant. Des changements familiaux, sociaux et technologiques font en sorte qu?ils semblent avoir perdu l?habitude ? ou qu?on ne leur laisse plus le temps - de jouer spontanément dehors à toute heure du jour, seuls, en groupe ou en famille, autour de la maison, au parc ou dans d?autres endroits verts, quand ils sont accessibles? Pourtant, les bienfaits du jeu libre et actif à l?extérieur, lorsque ceux-ci sont pratiqués en toute sécurité, sont multiples. Peu importe leur âge, les enfants accèdent ainsi à de nouvelles expériences, dépensent leur énergie, laissent libre court à leur imagination, éliminent les effets négatifs du stress, améliorent leur condition physique, leur concentration de même que leur sommeil. Bref, ils grandissent de la plus belle des façons. En servant de modèles aux jeunes, les parents contribuent activement à leur faire découvrir le plaisir de jouer dehors. En plus de fournir des clés pour y parvenir, Viens jouer dehors! leur suggère plusieurs jeux adaptés à différents âges, différents lieux et à chaque saison.

"Charlie has autism. His brain works in a special way. It's harder for him to make friends. Or show his true feelings. Or stay safe." But as his big sister tells us, for everything that Charlie can't do well, there are plenty more things that he's good at. He knows the names of all the American presidents. He knows stuff about airplanes. And he can even play the piano better than anyone he knows.

Actress and national autism spokesperson Holly Robinson Peete collaborates with her daughter on this book based on Holly's 10-year-old son, who has autism.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (includes Asperger Syndrome)

Abstract

Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome (PDA) is a developmental disorder that is being increasingly recognized as part of the autism spectrum. The main characteristic is a continued resistance to the ordinary demands of life through strategies of social manipulation, which originates from an anxiety-driven need to be in control.

This straightforward guide is written collaboratively by professionals and parents to give a complete overview of PDA. Starting with an exploration into the syndrome, it goes on to answer the immediate questions triggered when a child is first diagnosed, and uses case examples throughout to illustrate the impact of the condition on different areas of the child's life. Early intervention options and workable strategies for managing PDA positively will make day-to-day life easier for the child, their family and peers. New problems faced in the teenage years and how to assist a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood are also tackled. The book concludes with a valuable resources list.

Full of helpful guidance and support, this user-friendly introductory handbook is essential reading for families, carers and anyone who knows a child with PDA

Autism Spectrum Disorder (includes Asperger Syndrome)

Abstract

A follow-up to its bestselling predecessor, The Reason I Jump opens an extraordinary, rare window into the mind and world of an autistic, non-verbal person--now coping with a young man's life.

Naoki Higashida wrote The Reason I Jump as a 13-year-old boy with severe autism, giving us all insight into a world never before open to us. Now he shares his thoughts and experiences as a 24-year-old. Based on his hugely succesful blogs in Japan, he gives us, in short powerful chapters, his moving, beautiful insights into life, identity, education, his family, our society, and personal growth. He allows readers to experience profound moments we take for granted, like the thought-steps necessary for him to register that it's raining outside. Introduced by award-winning author David Mitchell (co-translator with his wife KA Yoshida), this book is part memoir, part critique of a world that sees disabilities ahead of the individual, part self-portrait-in-progress of a young man who happens to have autism and wants to help us understand his world better.
