Now at last his highly effective and influential program is presented in one clear and accessible volume. <P> A number of innovative, exciting features distinguish Greenspan's approach to autism: First, his program has demonstrated that children with signs of autism or autistic spectrum disorders do not have a fixed, limited potential, but in many cases can join their peers and lead full, healthy lives, emotionally and intellectually. Secondly, his approach can be applied at a very early stage, when signs of autism first appear. Thus, the hope of <I>preventing</I> the full onset of autism becomes a real possibility. Third, the approach empowers the entire family to promote their child's development throughout each day. Also, the DIR Floortime approach guides the efforts of speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and educators to work with the family and builds on the latest research on the development of the mind and brain. <P> As cases of autism continue to rise worldwide, Dr. Greenspan's extremely successful Floortime approach is producing very promising results that could one day stem the tide against this dread disorder. No one involved in the care of children with autism, parent or professional, can afford to be without this landmark work. 258177 27 3 2006 Engaging Autism: Helping Children Relate, Communicate and Think with the DIR Floortime Approach total:52|5:20|4:16|3:9|2:5|1:2| 52 203 95 14 1 0 false false Fri Jul 17 21:09:01 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 15:16:54 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 21:09:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Feb 18 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 08:00:38 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 08:00:38 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 10:13:32 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 10:15:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Aug 13 17:12:41 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 17:13:51 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 04 11:31:08 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 11:36:49 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Mar 12 04:55:02 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 12 04:55:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Jul 16 12:05:01 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 11 00:23:12 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 13:21:54 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 13:23:45 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Mon Feb 18 17:57:33 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 18:02:00 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 17:18:12 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 11 05:34:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed May 21 17:54:21 -0700 2008 Wed May 21 17:55:39 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Dec 31 15:41:24 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 31 15:42:07 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Thu Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 04 08:27:45 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 20 05:56:22 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Aug 19 19:22:27 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 19:23:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 24 17:56:40 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 17:56:40 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 22 17:03:22 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 17:03:22 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 16 10:38:46 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 10:38:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 18:02:29 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 18:02:29 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Nov 02 14:40:08 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 14:40:08 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 13:36:34 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 13:36:44 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=266290
