Product Description

Product Description

Autism can exist with any level of general ability, but it often occurs with additional severe learning difficulties. The special needs of children and adults with autism have been recognised gradually over the years and increasingly effective methods have been developed for working with them. Yet the group whose needs are perhaps the greatest - those with the dual problems of autism and severe learning difficulties - have been rather neglected. Rita Jordan has had a lifetime of experience of working with individuals with autism and helping others to do so. In this timely and much needed book she provides a practical guide to effective treatment and care, showing through examples how behaviour that is seen should be understood, and how to build on strengths and reduce problems. Her approach uses techniques from a variety of programmes and covers important topics such as the implications of the dual diagnosis; characteristic behaviour and development; fostering social interaction; educational provision; understanding, preventing and managing challenging behaviour; support for parents; and sexuality and the transition to adulthood. In 'Autism With Severe Learning Difficulties' Dr Jordan shares her understanding of autism and the most effective strategies for dealing with concomitant problems. The book will be invaluable to parents, key works and all who advise them in living and working with this fascinating group of individuals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring Autism and SLD, The book for parents and prof'nals, 26 July 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Autism with Severe Learning Difficulties (Human Horizons) (Human Horizons) (Paperback)
This motivating publication addresses the area of Autism Spectrum Disorders with Severe Learning Difficulties that has been neglected while the more recent focus on Asperger's Syndrome.

Initial impression of the book is that it is mainly focused on children rather than adults. While reading the book it is easy to value the writer's opinion stressing the importance of understanding early life. She illustrates that such children will begin to neglect vital communication and interaction at very early age and how the implications of this can become tenfold at an alarming rate. The latter part of the book does explore the transition to adulthood. I feel that the book would be useful to professional and carers working with either age group.

During the book she refers to several characters to illustrate the point. While reading about these characters it is easy to relate them to clients that one has known in the past, it is these sketches that make this book interesting creating the readers confidence to relate this information to their workplace.

The book is well laid out and has clearly defined areas for the chapters; the writer intends its use by parents and professionals. Myself, both being a nurse and a tutor for people with severe learning difficulties have found the book an excellent learning and teaching aid. It has further helped me to understand the actual vast dissimilarity and insight into their world and its function, and how that I can optimise training programmes to meet their needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of Autism and Severe Learning Difficulties, 20 Mar 2005
This review is from: Autism with Severe Learning Difficulties (Human Horizons) (Human Horizons) (Paperback)
As a teacher and finishing a Masters Degree in Autism this book has been from the very beginning an essencial tool for my studies and my job. It is clear, easy to read but also very scientific. If you are a parent, a student, a teacher or just interested in Autism this book should be your Bible!
