A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An excellent source of practical ideas that form the basis for programmes of intervention for children with autism. The content is primarily aimed at those working with children who have normal, or near normal, cognitive abilities, rather than those who work with children whose autism accompanies severe learning disabilities. - Offers children with autism an accessible route to a social skills programme and practitioners the opportunity to help students enhance their quality of life. - This approach to remediation appreciates that a disorder affecting social functioning should be remediated by focusing on this area. - The authors are speech language therapists who work both in the community and in educational settings. Contents: Assessment; Setting the scene for intervention; Pre-school intervention; Infant-level intervention; Junior-level intervention; Intervention with older children and adolescents; Further practicalities
