Learn how to stop a meltdown! This book offers tried-and-true solutions to minimize and circumvent the often frightening circumstances that surround the cycle of meltdowns, not only for the child with autism, but others in the environment as well.

The author of this very practical book takes the reader through the stages of the cycle and emphasizes the importance of utilizing systematic instruction and teachable moments before and after a meltdown. The book also notes that (a) meltdowns are not purposeful and (b) instruction is needed in order for them to stop. Readers will appreciate the practical steps that are given to complete this journey successfully.
