together that as long as they are patient and helped him when he

Kellie’s Book The Art of the Possible
(hard back)
Written and illustrated by Kellie Greenwald, a young adult w/DS |
Marin
author and illustrator Kellie Greenwald is something special,
there's no question about it. Working with a Bright, bold
palette, Greenwald illustrates her autobiography, Kellie's Book:
The Art of the Possible (with a verve and unabashed sense of
love that few other authors bring to their own life story. That
Greenwald, daughter of former Giants broadcaster Hank Greenwald,
has Down syndrome is just a part of the story. What's more
interesting indeed is just how much is possible for a person
like Kellie. Now 29, she has a boyfriend, has graduated from the
College of Marin and held several jobs, regularly cooks for her
family, makes funny jokes and is now a published author totaling
more accomplishments than many of us "normally" abled can claim
at just 29. With interest in "outsider" art on the rise,
Kellie's Book couldn't be timed better for an audience primed to
enjoy the work of the differently abled and for readers,
especially children, to get a smart glimpse into the success and
strength of one extraordinary person. |

Blue’s
Clues: All Kinds of Signs
(vhs) |
Hearing-impaired (and Academy Award-winning) actress Marlee
Matlin bookends two "Blue's Clues" episodes and gives the tape
its theme by teaching Steve some American Sign Language. In the
first story--in which Steve and friends attempt to ascertain
where a certain blue dog would like to eat her snack--Steve
teaches some signs and follows signs of another kind on poster
boards. The written signs, of course, lead to the canine's
clues, designated by her famous paw print. Blue Scadoo finds
Steve jumping into Jane's book and meeting her deaf friend Carly,
who tells a story in sign language. In the second episode, Steve
tries to figure out where Blue wants to go by using a map the
cunning dog has left behind. He eventually jumps into a
Candyland-style game, finds Blue with the Gingerbread Girl, and
winds up going to the library. Children ages 2 to 5 will enjoy
and learn from this 51-minute video. |

The
Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory
Integration Dysfunction
(pb) |
by Carol
Stock Kranowitz,M.A.
The concept
of Sensory Integration Dysfuction is difficult to grasp. It
sounds like some touchy feely diagnostic fad at first. It's even
harder to explain to those around you. This book is an excellent
detailed account of what it means, what to look for, what to do
to correct it. Through this book we began to find help for our
child and it was the first clue of an underlying more serious
disorder (in his case, Asperger Syndrome.) Once you understand
Sensory Integration Dysfunction you can spot it so easily it's
hard to believe you could miss it before. On a playground, in a
classroom, at Sunday school I can pick out the kids who have
sensory issues in a heartbeat. If teachers were armed with this
book they could save themselves, the parents and especially the
children so much heartache. Kids would be diagnosed faster and
be able to overcome their difficulties. If you have children in
your life, please read this book. Knowledge is power. |

The
Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun:
Activities for Kids with Sensory Integration Dysfunction (pb) |
by Carol
Stock Kranowitz, M.A.
This
companion volume to The Out-of-Sync Child presents
activities that parents of kids with Sensory Integration
Dysfunction can do at home with their child to strengthen their
child's abilities-and have some fun together along the way. |

Songames
for Sensory Integration 2nd Ed._
(booklet
and audio cassette) |
By Bob Wiz
This is a
great tool for teachers, therapists, and parents. I first
learned about this when I attended a mini-conference for Early
Intervention therapists. I decided to buy this for my son, who
has been receiving therapy for gross motor, fine motor, and
speech for 3 years. This tape incorporated both the gross motor
& speech therapy ideas nicely. I plan to show it to his
preschool teacher to see if they would like to borrow it for the
classroom. This is also fun for children who do not have any
special needs, as it provides a way to get up & play song &
movement games. Probably a great gift for a stay-at-home mom! |

Raising
a Sensory Smart Child-
The
Definitive Handbook for Helping Your Child with Sensory
Integration Issues (pb) |
by Lindsey
Biel, M.A.,OTR/L and Nancy Peske
Raising a
Sensory Smart Child
is a comprehensive, informative, and practical book for parents.
The authors explain sensory integration and sensory integration
dysfunction in a way that parents can understand. They then
provide very practical, hands-on examples for helping the child
at home, in school, and in other settings. This is a must read
for all parents who have children with sensory integration
issues." |

Sensory
Secrets-
How to Jump Start Learning in Children (pb) |
by
Catherine Chemin Schneider, O.T.R.
“This book
is a great introduction to sensory integration and how our
senses effect our learning. As A professional who works with
individuals who have sensory difficulties, I feel that this book
would be helpful for new teacher trainings, as an introduction
to sensory integration, or as a guide to help individuals (such
as parents) who do not work in an education or medically based
industry that need to gain a better understanding of sensory
integration.” |

A Guide for Parents and Professionals
(paperback)
Early Communication Skills for Children with Down Syndrome: |
By Libby Kumin.
Written for both parents and professional
caretakers, Early Communication Skills For Children
With Down Syndrome by Libby Kumin (who has 23 years
of experience in working with children with Down
syndrome) is very highly recommended as an
informational resource by parents, caretakers,
teachers, and anyone else charged with the
responsibility of dealing with Down Syndrome
children. With a focus on speech and language
development, through the stage of making 3-word
phrases, Early Communication Skills For Children
With Down syndrome offers in-depth insight, home
communication activities, ways to help one's child
learn basic rules of conduct, and much more.
|
Classroom Language Skills for Children with Down syndrome
(paperback) |
By Libby Kumin.
There are instructions for dozens of
easy home- and school-based activities, which help
children gradually overcome delays and learn the
fine motor skills mentioned above. The author
suggests ways for parents to incorporate these
exercises into as many day-to-day activities as
possible, recognizing how impractical it is to
constantly be in “therapy” mode with a child. New
material includes a chapter on problems with sensory
processing for those who are over- or
under-responsive to touch, or have unexpected
reactions to sound, pain, or other sensations. Being
aware of these sensitivities can open pathways to
better behavior and responsiveness to therapy. Also
new is information about a critical developmental
step--determining when a child is ready for
preprinting activities. These and many other
additions make this the most up-to-date,
comprehensive resource on fine motor development for
children with Down syndrome.

A KIDS' EXPRESS TRAIN CD for ADULTS? Oh, AND KIDS, TOO, of
course! OK, we admit it. We recorded a CD for adults: parents,
grandparents, and teachers who LOVE rock and roll songs. You
know those songs that rocked our socks off in the 50's, 60's,
and 70's and still continue to touch that soulful part of us. Do
you remember "ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK " by JIMMY DE KNIGHT and MAX
FRIEDMAN, "BAD MOON RISING" by JOHN C. FOGERTY, "ROCKIN’ ROBIN"
by JIMMIE THOMAS, or "HELP ME RHONDA" by THE BEACH BOYS? Well,
these songs and more are back, but are packaged with Kids'
Express Train goals in mind of "enhancing children's speech
through music, imitation, and fun. |
|
Imitation Station
(music CD)
part of the Kids’ Express Train
Set
(Go to
http://www.expresstrain.org/song_sheets.htm
for instructions on how to use the CDs and to get free
materials to use with the CDs) |
This CD focuses on imitation at a very basic level including
noises, consonant-vowels structures, single words, and simple
phrases. All songs contain the phrase, “Your turn” to give
children the cue of when to imitate the words. Imitation Station
has excellent speech practice for children slightly below or
above the single word level. It gives children repetition of
words many times during each song. Repetition is the key focus
of this CD. |
|
Vocalocomotion (music CD)
part of the Kids’ Express Train Set-Go to
http://www.expresstrain.org/song_sheets.htm
for instructions on how to use the CDs and to get free materials
to use with the CDs |
This CD is uniquely different from the others as it has no
singing. Every song is done with rhythm and instrumental but in
a speaking-rap style. It focuses on consonant-vowel imitation,
single words, and simple phrases, just as Imitation Station
does, but some children may have an easier time practicing word
and phrase imitation when it does not involve singing. This CD
also includes the phrase, “Your turn” to cue the children when
to imitate. |
|
Conversation Station
(music CD)
(part of the Kids’ Express Train Set-(Go to
http://www.expresstrain.org/song_sheets.htm
for instructions on how to
use the CDs and to get free materials to use with the CDs) |
Combines
imitation practice with conversation. We eliminated the phrase,
“Your turn” from this collection of songs to help children
imitate without becoming cue-dependent. The conversation in
these songs can be modeled during natural routines. The old
favorite, Ring Around the Rosie is included in this CD, but has
been re-written (Round We Go) to make it verbally within a
child’s ability to sing. |
