Description

“Working In the dance space I have found that when we make assumptions about a child’s ability to develop and communicate, we only place limitations on the child that are based on a very narrow understanding of them until they reveal themselves to us.

‘Art as a Language for Autism’ is the most wonderful and welcome addition to this perspective which provides the reader with insights of a powerful creative approach to building relationships and reimagining life changing outcomes for children and their families. Written with decades of hands-on clinical experience and a rich in-depth academic knowledge of art and play based therapeutic practice, Jane’s work is truly ground-breaking and offers inspiring pathways to following and discovering the potential within each unique child.”

“In this much-needed contribution to the lexicon of ASD literature, Dr. Richardson informs clinicians, educators, and parents on the value of creative approach with children on the spectrum. Richardson frames art as a means of communication for a population that typically struggles with this; indeed, she reminds us that art is fundamental expression. The words and experiences of her young clients are shared with a genuine respect, and Richardson anchors these anecdotes by expertly weaving in the theory of art and play therapists, psychologists, and autism researchers. I look forward to recommending this text to students, clients, and colleagues.”

“This thoughtful book weaves links between the Reggio Emilia humanistic approach and art therapy. The Italian educational philosophy perceives a child as competent, whole, and part of society. Jane Ferris Richardson adapted it in-depth into the world of art therapy and autism in particular. Through a prolific kaleidoscope of stories, she demonstrates processes adjusted precisely to each individual. She playfully combines many nonverbal communicational languages: visual arts, music, movement, play, sand tray, storytelling, in a profound attunement to each client.

The scope of interventions is rich and integrates the connections between mind, brain, and senses. She demonstrates how the arts are crucial in therapy and sometimes the only way to approach a person, especially with children with autism. This book is a meaningful contribution to those interested in art therapy, play therapy and intend to work with people with autism.”

“Jane Ferris Richardson has created a powerful and intriguing look at working with autistic children in her book Art as a Language for Autism: Building Therapeutic Relationships with Children and Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum. Richardson has skillfully interwoven the intersection of the therapeutic powers of play with the healing components or art and expressive intervention. This book presents client examples, research support, and art and play interventions throughout. Among the highlights is a chapter dedicated to adolescents and a chapter portraying a powerful illustration of a mother and son and their journey/connection through art.

This book will speak to the creative and expressive therapists who work with autistic children and their families. It is also a powerful read and insight for parents and families. The power and relevance of art with autistic individuals has been lacking in literature. Richardson does an excellent job of negating this oversight.”
