Speaking from decades of experience, Michael Chissick shares the secrets
to teaching yoga to children and young people with Autistic Spectrum
Disorder (ASD).
The physical, emotional and social benefits of yoga for autistic
children can be profound, and this book will give you the confidence to
get going with an array of fun activities and games from 'chasing the
frog' to 'yoga detective'. Whether you work in special needs school,
primary mainstream school or the community, or you are the parent of an
autistic child, this book will equip you with plans, structures, goals,
teaching tips and a multitude of real-life stories.
The book is suitable for teaching everyone on the spectrum, with an
emphasis on teaching those with more complicated needs. It is also
relevant for use with children who have related needs such as ADHD and
sensory processing challenges. Beautifully illustrated with images of
the postures taught within, it is the perfect go-to resource for anyone
interested in engaging children and young people in yoga.
