"The Creative Outlet Method Book of Creativity is an amazing assortment of activities to make group participation (and skill-building!) fun and exciting for all children, including those who need structure and guidance to successfully interact with friends and peers. Step-by-step instructions, lists of needed items, and supplemental materials are included, making it super easy for families and caregivers to create successful performances at home or anywhere!"
--Kathy Brill, M.Ed., M.P.S., Co-Founder of Parent to Parent USA, disability advocate, and consultant
"Developing the creativity of children with disabilities is often overlooked when focused on other essential life skills. Joshua recognizes the benefits of living a creative life, and his book provides a comprehensive, user-friendly guide for families and professionals to nurture children's creativity while simultaneously growing their communication, social skills, positive behavior, and joy."
--Kristina R. Berzina, veteran special education teacher
"Parents, teachers, therapists, and caregivers will be thrilled to add these unique, theatrical activities to their tool box for engaging with children. Joshua's method is a collaborative, fun way for kids to build skills, and utilizes a strengths-based approach. This method not only applies to special needs and neurodiverse children and adolescents, but can also be used with neurotypical and combined groups!"
--Sarah B. Silverman, PsyD, licensed psychologist
"Joshua Levy has woven aspects of explicit instruction, applied behavior analysis, and social skills training into a book that parents, teachers, and anyone who works with children with special needs can use proactively to improve interactions and positive outcomes. His experiences and passion for story-telling and theater provides a unique gestalt for learning. The activities in this book include many parts yet the totality of experiences and benefits goes beyond their individual combinations."
--Dr. John W. Maag, Larry & Sharon Roos Professor of Special Education at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, author of Parenting Without Punishment, a Parents' Choice Award recipient
