Explores ten important characteristics that provide a window into the hearts and minds of children with autism.
A source of practical advice for parents, teachers, and carers of children on the autism spectrum, which offers positive strategies for dealing with a range of issues.
The author's first book, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, was a shot heard throughout the worldwide autism community, branded by readers as "required reading for all social service workers, teachers and relatives of children with autism." Now, for the teacher in all of us comes this second work. The unique perspective of a child's voice is back to help us understand the thinking patterns that guide their actions, shape an environment conducive to their learning style, and communicate with them in meaningful ways. This book affirms that autism imposes no inherent upper limits on achievement, that both teacher and child "can do it." It is the game plan every educator, parent, or family member needs to make the most of every "teaching moment" in the life of these children we love. -- From publisher
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Perspective is everything when it comes to autism. When people who don’t have autism frame its challenges only through the lens of their own experiences, they unwittingly close the door to alternative thinking that could help those with autism or Asperger’s syndrome overcome their obstacles. #2 Your child’s autism does not mean that they will not be able to live full, joyous, and meaningful lives. You may be scared, but you must believe that your child’s quality of life is at stake if you don’t do everything within your power to help them. #3 Autism is complex, but its primary elements are sensory processing challenges, communication delays, elusive social thinking and interaction skills, and whole child/self-esteem issues. #4 The four elements of social, cognitive, and physical learning are common to many children with autism, but every child with autism is different, and each parent, teacher, and caregiver will be at a different point on the spectrum.
