Retinking Autism, three of the most unique and intriguing talents in the world of Access Consciousness have teamed together to write “Would You Teach a Fish to Climb A Tree?”, an innovative perspective on children who deal with ADD, ADHD, OCD and Autism in their lives. 

Dr. Dain Heer, Gary Douglas and child and play and family therapist Anne Maxwell have had remarkable success working with children who are different than their peers. The book elaborates on those experiences with practical tools, stories, observations, and life changing questions that can be used by anyone who has one of these kids in their life and is looking for something different.  With techniques often viewed as “out of the box”, these three authors introduce you to magical children and you are sure to fall in love with many of them.

 

These children are lucky enough to have magical adults as well … those who are willing to step beyond what so many experts in the field advocate, into what they actually know to be effective with the children. Parents and siblings and relatives; teachers and therapists and administrators; peers and loved ones and friends … all will benefit from this groundbreaking book.

 

This book debunks many of the myths surrounding these children. It offers practical tools that actually work! These are tools that can be used to reduce the stress and overwhelm facing them and their loved ones and others, and, to improve the quality of their lives. “Would You Teach A Fish To Climb A Tree?” talks about such topics as:

  • Children who have been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, OCD and autism are not normal and average. What if there is nothing wrong with them? What if they are just different?
  • Labels evoke images, answers, and definitions, and nothing can be considered that doesn’t fit within the confines of the labels. If they weren’t labeled, what could that change?
  • These children don’t learn the same way we do. They pick up things in a totally different manner. We need to step up and find out how they learn.
  • What if these kids are not their labels?
  • It’s important to acknowledge what kids know and what they are aware of … even if they are very young or even if they have been labeled.
  • When you understand how kids with autism communicate, your communication with them can go to a place that allows you – and them – greater ease.
  • This book contains many practical tools that you can use to communicate more easily with these children.
  • What if people with ADD and ADHD are the greatest multi-taskers in the universe? They are always looking for more sensory input.
