Synopsis

Stop the meltdowns! Outsmarting Explosive Behavior: A Visual System of Support and Intervention for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a revolutionary program designed to help decrease - and in some cases eliminate - explosive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder. Meltdowns are among the greatest challenges for children and adolescents with ASD, often leaving parents and educators searching for answers. Outsmarting Explosive Behavior is a visual program, laid out as a fold-out poster, that can be individualized for each user. Four train cars represent the four stages of explosive behavior: Starting Out, Picking Up Steam, Point of No Return, and Explosion. By using visuals that appeal to children with ASD, this program makes it easy to help them identify their emotional state and take steps to decrease the chances of a meltdown. Foreword by Brenda Smith Myles, PhD.
