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 |
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. |

SENSORY INTEGRATION
Title Description
|
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) |

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.” |

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.

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. |

Imitation Station
(music CD) for instructions on how to use the CDs and to get free materials to use with the CDs) |

Repetition is the key focus of this CD. | |||||

Vocalocomotion (music CD)
part of the Kids’ Express Train Set-Go to |
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. | |||||
