Synopsis

Rather than describing autism, etiology, diagnosis, or a specific treatment approach, this book covers generalization, an important aspect of any kind of treatment approach. Generalization is when responses or skills that are not directly targeted occur as a result of training or intervention. Generalization is one of the most important measures of treatment outcome, if a child can learn a variety of skills and use them in a variety of settings, it is the best measure of whether or not an intervention was effective.In addition to the informative chapters in the first half of the book, this book includes naturalistic activities teaching language, play, imitation, social skills, motor skills, academic skills, and cognitive skills. The activities are written in clear language with the intention that non-experts, such as parents and many school staff, will be able to implement these activities in the child's natural environment.This book offers information, practical, easy-to-use activities, and simple data collection for everyday use - all designed to help parents, teachers, and professionals begin a comprehensive treatment program for their child.
