Melinda Smith, M.D.                  174 pages/ 2001

Throughout two years of intensive Applied Behavior Analysis with her son, Dr. Smith recognized the critical need to consistently incorporate playskills into his program. Teaching Playskills is the culmination of her years of reseach and personal experience. This comprehensive manual encompasses the many aspects of play and how they can be incorporated into the lives of children with developmental delays. Written accessibly and intimately, Dr. Smith gives both parents and professionals a concrete look into the dynamic world of play and how it affects and applies to our exceptional children.
