A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Originally published in 1977. "Let Me Play" has proved to be one of the most popular titles in the Human Horizon Series and is now in its second revised edition. Further amendments have been made to the present reprint. The programme of games presented in the book is designed to encourage motor and sensory skills, intellect, imagination and social confidence in young children or those with severe disabilities. Based on the work of the Parental Involvement Project at the Hester Adrian Research Centre, University of Manchester, it was written as a companion to 'Let Me Speak', also in the Human Horizons Series. Successful play is the foundation on which all subsequent learning of physical, intellectual and emotional skills is built. It is vital for the handicapped child who, unlike most children, may not play spontaneously without help from the parents. The authors explain how playfulness can be developed in structured ways to interest and involve the child, progressing from basic exploratory games to quite complex perceptual, discriminatory, manipulatory and memory games. Parents, teachers, nursery assistants and playgroups leaders will find the book's simple, practical approach and positive thinking an invaluable aid. The ordinary skills of everyday living are brought in quite naturally as preparation for the active, independent life that many handicapped children can now hope to enjoy. An appendix of helpful books, toy suppliers and useful addresses is included.
