There's a Big, Beautiful World Out There

There's a Big, Beautiful World Out There

ISBN: 0670035807

There's a lot to be scared of, that's for sure. There's the mean-looking dog next door and booming thunderstorms; there are spooky shadows in the corner of your room, and people who look different from you. All of this scary stuff can make you want to hide under your covers and never come out again. But hiding won't solve anything, and besides, maybe that dog only looks mean. This warm and reassuring book offers young readers the encouragement they need to face their fears and look forward to all the great experiences awaiting them.

Yoga for the Special Child: A Therapeutic Approach for Infants and Children With Down Syndrome, Cerabral Palsy, and Learning Disabilities

Yoga for the Special Child: A Therapeutic Approach for Infants and Children With Down Syndrome, Cerabral Palsy, and Learning Disabilities

ISBN: 096580240X

This book offers one more success story of a parent who refused to believe her disabled child could not be helped. But more importantly, it is a handbook for parents that demonstrates the use of centuries–old yoga practices to benefit the special-needs child. Sumar's program, which she teaches throughout the world, draws on yoga's philosophy that intellect, mobility, and the senses are interdependent and that improved development in one area affects all areas. The book includes a glossary, case reports (including that of Sumar's daughter), and clear, step–by–step instructions with illustrations. It also includes important dos, don'ts, and medical precautions. The success of Sumar's program has been documented in education and psychology journals. An important addition to any special – needs collection. KellyJo Houtz Griffin, Auburn, WA Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
