From the rear cover
After decades of research, educators now know that play is how children learn. Science has proven that play is a vital component in brain development and that new neural connections are formed when children are playfully engaged.
In this inspiring and easy-to-follow resource, Barbara Sher offers techniques for promoting play in the domains of the senses--such as kinesthetic, visual, tactile, and auditory--as well as the emotional and social realms--awareness of others, sharing, turn taking, cooperative play, and reading social cues. Included are
- A plethora of fun and easy games that use commonly found materials, which can be played and enjoyed with an inclusive population so everyone is included in the fun.
- Multi-sensory games that stimulate brain development and foster the integration of the senses by enhancing motor, social, language, and cognitive skills.
- Ideas for parents, teachers, and counselors on extending play outside the learning environment--including potentially stressful moments, such as waiting or traveling.
The Whole Spectrum of Social, Motor, and Sensory Games presents a rich variety of play activities that enhance learning and development.

--Carol Kranowitz, author, The Out-of-Sync Child and Growing an In-Sync Child
