Synopsis

Does your child have a friend, family member or class mate who has autism?

Would you like your child or the children in your classroom to understand more about autism? Are you looking for an engaging way to start a dialogue about autism?This book uses a simple ABC format to teach about autism. With delightful illustrations, this book teaches, from a child’s perspective, the typical traits that many people with autism share.I invite you to read this story interactively with your child. You can playfully try flapping and rocking with the child in this story. Ask your child to look deeply into your eyes to see if it is uncomfortable for him, too. Encourage discussions of how you or people you love might be like the child in this book. You might compare and contrast how the child in this book is similar or different from a person you know on the spectrum. This book provides wonderful opportunities to discuss how to be a friend of a child with autism. The simple action plan at the conclusion of the book will help give guidance to a child who wants to be a friend of someone on the autistic spectrum. As a pediatric physical therapist, I work with many children on the spectrum. I often see misinformation about autism and well-meaning, but misguided, attempts to interact with people on the spectrum. I believe knowledge helps break down barriers and encourages kindness and patience. Helping children understand autism at a young age is powerful. Reading this book will change the life of your child and the lives of people on the autistic spectrum that your child meets now and in the future.

À propos de l?auteur

Amy E. Sturkey, PT met an adorable boy with cerebral palsy and his family on a safari in Kenya. As she tried to help them, she realized that little information was available to help train pediatric therapists and to educate children and families about common childhood conditions and treatment options. Capitalizing on her 25+ years of experience as a pediatric physical therapist, Amy co-founded Gotcha Apps to produce educational mobile applications for pediatric therapists and their clients. She created an instructional Facebook page, a website, and a YouTube channel. On these platforms, she releases weekly email newsletters/blogs and videos to instruct therapists and families of children with developmental challenges. Amy won Outstanding Physical Therapist for North Carolina for 2016. Amy’s newest adventure is creating picture books for children providing simple and entertaining information about common childhood disabilities. This book is the first in that series.
