An Exceptional Children's Guide to Touch : Teaching Social and Physical Boundaries to Kids

The rules of physical contact can be tricky to grasp and children with special needs are at a heightened risk of abuse. This friendly picture book explains in simple terms how to tell the difference between acceptable and inappropriate touch, thereby helping the child with special needs stay safe. Each story covers a different type of touch from accidental to friendly to hurtful and will help children understand how boundaries change depending on the context. It explores when and where it is okay to touch other people, when and where other people can touch you, why self touching sometimes needs to be private, and what to do if touch feels inappropriate. This book is an invaluable teaching resource and discussion starter for parents, teachers and carers working with children with special needs.Author: Hunter Manasco,author Contributors: Hunter Manasco,author Binding: hardcover Number Of Pages: 72 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Original Published/Release Date: 15 Aug 2012 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Jessica Kingsley Publishers Author/Director/Artist: McKinley Hunter Manasco Dimension (cm): 253x137x11 mm Package Dimension (cm): 12x249x179 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 358
