The purpose of this book is to build on the strong foundation of discrete trial training, expanding the ability of the higher-functioning child with autism to learn in “real world” settings. The established principles of behavioral interventions, which are instrumental in the education of children with autism, are often discarded as the child matures. These principles are more difficult to establish in the natural setting of school or home, which contain previously controlled variables in the one-on-one setting. Rather than abandoned the principles that have produced success, parents and educators should recognize that children with autism have a unique style of learning that must be considered in a variety of settings. This book combines practical strategies, ideas, and suggestions aligning the home and school settings. Autism in the School Aged Child offers a unique resource to parents and teachers at a time when the incidence of autism is increasing.

People who have brought this book wrote:

This book is filled with practical approaches to designing and implementing effective interventions for school-aged children with autism spectrum disorders. The style is succint and emphasizes direct examples that can be immediately implemented into an individual child's intervention program. I found chapter 15, "Developing Useful Interests: Broadening general intersts, cultivating narrow interests," to be of particular merit. The book is divided into two main sections: School and Home. Both sections have invaluable advice to parent and teacher and are designed to allow for a smooth transition from school activities to home interventions. The chapter on sibling issues is also very enlightening and emphasizes the inherent socialization skills that "neurotypical" siblings can model for their autistic family member(s). Overall really outstanding. Emphasizes the practical over the academic; a quick, effective, and inspiring read. Hats of to the authors!!!
