For creative therapists, educators, counselors, school psychologists, and others in the helping profession, Brooke compiles 19 essays in which creative art therapists in the areas of art, play,
music, dance/movement, and drama discuss the use of these therapies with children with autism spectrum disorders and their families. They cover art therapy with adolescents with Asperger's
syndrome, with mothers of children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, in storybook formats to help individuals grieve, and a case of a nonverbal adolescent male living with Down
Syndrome and autistic behavior. They also cover creating a safe space for adolescents with autism; play therapy with children; music therapy goals, objectives, and sessions; social and
relationship skills; the theory and applications of drama therapy; and the use of video modeling. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
