I recorded this video about a year ago with Liana Lowenstein. I had a lot of fun demonstrating these two techniques to use with children with Autism to help work on emotional regulation and social skills. Thanks Liana for doing this and I hope you all enjoy watching and trying these interventions.

I Wanted to share my review of a new book for professionals designed to help children dealing with divorce issues: Liana Lowenstein’s Cory Helps Kids Cope with Divorce impressively covers all the common issues that children struggle with in divorce situations. All children will be able to relate to the main character Cory and the play based interventions will engage children as they process through their struggles. Lowenstein incorporates information for parents that is spot on in terms of what parents need to understand about what is happening with their child. I have already begun using this book with a couple of my clients and they love it!
Liana has several books and resources availabe for all professionals working with children and adolescents. Check out more at www.lianalowenstein.com
