People with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) typically
experience difficulty with balance, coordination and sensory awareness. The
mind/body exercises in this book help young people with AS improve these skills,
leading to greater self-confidence, and independence.
Easy to use, with photographs to show how exercises
are done correctly, these techniques can have an immediate effect on how an
individual stands, sits, moves, thinks of him- or herself, and relates to
others. The author's approach integrates ideas and practices from disciplines
including martial arts, Eastern principles of mindfulness, techniques of
visualization, breathing, posture, and movement, and the practice of
mentoring.
Mind/Body Techniques for Asperger's Syndrome
is an introduction to Pathfinder training techniques for both parents of
adolescents with AS and professionals including physical therapists,
pediatricians, and special education teachers who work with
them.
