Full Description
What Really Works for Children with Autism aims to be a guide for anyone who has a child with autism, as well as for educators and caregivers. Many difficulties for these children arise due to a lack of knowledge about what exactly autism is and what its consequences are. This book provides detailed information about:
What autism is and what the most important needs of these children are.
How you can support them in their sometimes strange or difficult behavior.
How to deal with this as a (grand)parent, teacher, therapist, or supervisor.
You will also find practical tools that will help you to persevere and give the best of yourself every day to guide these children. You will not recognize everything: every child with autism is unique. What Really Works for Children with Autism will help you avoid obstacles, tackle challenges and handle children to speak to their strengths. This allows them to develop a productive relationship with themselves, with parents and teachers, and with other important people in their lives.
