A Treasure Chest of Behavioral Strategies for Individuals With Autism

Rating:
Summary: Best resource I ever purchased
Review: I bought this book not knowing what to expect. I just wanted something, anything to read to help my autistic child. This book is packed with stratagies, keys, cautions and important information. It has a table of contents and you can read what you need. It has a special problem area in which it speaks about eating habits, smearing poo, and various other situations that we may encounter. I use this book daily. I bring it to IEP meetings and just recently after reading about sensory integration and calling the OT and requesting information about products to help with sensory integration, she sent me a packet of information, a few products to try at home to see if they help before I go and spend money on things and a thank you note that said "thanks for all you do". I had never been thanked by a teacher. This book helped me realize that my childs autism will not go away and that there are things that can help him and that I have the power to help him. It also helped open up communication and resources from the school as well and has gotten me respect as well. I am thankful to this book and will keep it on my desk. It is the only book I keep out about autism. Because it is the most useful.
It is well worth the money!

Summary: Great stuff for the "practicalities" of living with autism
Review: This book provides great hands-on tips for dealing with autism. The case studies and examples make confusing or unusual approaches much clearer and easier to try at home or explain to others (doctors, teachers, etc.). Reading cover to cover is unnecessary, all chapters can be read independently. The authors give clear, knowledgeable solutions for dealing with such problem behaviors as escaping, biting, and "stimming", along with lots of information on using various intervention techniques. A must-have for teachers and parents!
