Kurtz, a pediatric occupational therapist and educator who works with children with special needs in public schools, identifies simple low-cost games and activities that can be used to teach sensorimotor skills to young children with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), sensory processing disorder, and other learning difficulties. They focus on promoting gross and fine motor, visual, and sensory skills like strength and endurance, body awareness, balance, manual speed and dexterity, eye-hand coordination, visual attention and tracking, sensory modulation, and tactile and auditory discrimination and awareness. She explains why each skill is important to learning, the signs and symptoms of struggling children, and the learning focus, materials, description, and variations of specific activities. She also discusses the importance of play and lists typical developmental milestones. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
