Product Description

Product Description
This practical guide outlines the characteristics of autism as they present themselves in the early years; considers the nature of autism and the issues surrounding assessment and diagnosis; offers practical practical strategies for effective and realistic intervention both at home and in a variety of early years settings; and explores possibilities for enhancing access to the early years curriculum.

From the Back Cover

Anyone meeting a young child with autism for the first time will find this book invaluable. In a clear and sensitive style the authors:

outline the characteristics of autism as they present themselves in the early years
consider the nature of autism and the issues surrounding assessment and diagnosis
offer practical strategies for effective and realistic intervention both at home and in a variety of early years settings
explore possibilities for enhancing access to the early years curriculum

The authors provide extensive material that will be equally accessible and relevant to parents following an early diagnosis of autism in their child

This fully revised new edition includes new material that relates to new statutory requirements such as Every Child Matters and Disability Equality Duty as well as updates to different approaches to autism, assessment and behavioural issues. This classic text will provide much needed support and advice to anxious parents, teachers and professionals who are working together in an unfamiliar area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly useful for all involved with children with autism, 25 Nov 2000

By	robertb.young@virgin.net (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This is one of the most accessible books on autism in young chidlren and is also remarkably informative and useful. The book is divived usefully into sections on autism, assessment, implications for intervention, approaches, developing a curriculum and managing behaviour. There is also an easy to use checklist which can be discussed between practicioners and parents. As a speech and language therapist working with pre-school and school age chidlren with autism, I have found this very useful and have recommended it to a range of colleagues. It is also inexpensive and contains a useful index and bibliography.
