Resources

A few resources and emphasis of opinion of important interventions: We believe the “Floortime” approach which is a component of the DIR programming (Developmental, Individual Difference, Relationship model) has important potential contributions to Special Needs Children. Especially when these kids have not responded to traditional approaches. Read about DIR on www.icdl.com. as well as at www.floortime.org. This is also a good site for parent referral. Don’t forget The Special Needs Child by Greenspan.

Closely related to the Developmental-Relationship approach are the various suggestions for Attachment Related issues. Parents have told us they like, How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so kids will Talk by Adele Faber. Also Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child by John Gottman is helpful reading for anyone involved with children. Helping younger children develop a sense of empathy, social abilities, boundaries and access to building symbols—look at It Takes Two to Talk (parents guide to helping children communicate two way) by Ayala Manolson, The Hanen Center, Toronto 416-921-1073. or Thinking about you Thinking about Me by Michele Winner. A little more involved, but a great social language enhancement for perspective taking for disabled child. (2002) San Jose, 408-557-8595. If you want a more scientific source substantiating for parents the brain basis for parenting that builds attachment-bonding with your child, with the brain in mind look for Parenting from the Inside Out by Daniel Siegel (2003)

There are tapes for help understanding sensory reactivity and modulation, The Out of Synch Child by Carol Kranowitz, Sensory Resources (2001). Buy the book by the same name.

Finally, We would like to refer those interested in how to re-author and re-story by checking Narrative Therapy on the Web especially try www.dulwichcentre.com.au for articles as well as solution focused therapy. Check out a powerpoint at www.drugnet.bizland.com/powerpoint/sfbt.ppt.
