Dr. Stanley I. Greenspan, a psychiatrist who invented an influential approach to teaching children with autism and other developmental problems by folding his lanky six-foot frame onto the floor and following their lead in vigorous play, died April 27 at a hospital in Bethesda, Md. He was 68 and lived in Bethesda.
The cause was complications of a stroke, said his wife, Nancy Thorndike Greenspan, who was co-author of several of his more than 30 books.
…
Besides his wife, Dr. Greenspan is survived by two daughters, Elizabeth Greenspan of Boston and Sarah Greenspan of Silver Spring, Md.; and a son, Jacob, of Washington. A brother, Kenneth, also a psychiatrist, died in 1999.
