Janet Tubbs (Children's Resource Center)

I have worked with children on the autism spectrum for more than 25 years, using an arts-based program I developed to help balance a child's three fold nature of body, mind and soul. This program includes music, art, drawing, sculpture, puppetry, and movement in addition to nutritional guidance.

Since this program has been shown to be effective, fun and easy to implement, I have written a book called Creative Therapy for Children With Autism, ADD and Asperger's, published by SquareOne Publishers in 2008. The purpose of this guide is two-fold: 1) to provide parents, therapists, physicians, teachers and care givers with a manual that helps to identify spectrum disorders by the most common characteristics and 2) to encourage parents to play a major part in the improvement of their child by participating in his or her activity. Part Two of the book describes all of the techniques I have used with children since 1981 plus games, exercises and activities that have proven the test of time.

Please check out our web sites - especially the most recent one about Remedial Therapy and the arts.
