Product Description
Product Description
Fighting, biting, screaming and other behaviours that challenge the people dealing with them are often triggered by unsuitable surroundings or unrealistic demands. In this fresh and effective approach, Bo Hejlskov Elvén shows how identifying and adapting these problem areas can dramatically improve behaviour in people with autism and other developmental disabilities. This practical book explains how to reassess difficult situations and offers easy and effective strategies for eliciting positive responses without resorting to restraint and punishment. Based on the successful low-arousal approach, it is a proven method of stepping away from distress and towards calm, improving the quality of life of everyone involved. Helpful examples covering a wide range of developmental disabilities from autism to Down's Syndrome illustrate the positive changes that can be achieved. This empowering book will be invaluable to anyone attempting to deal with unproductive behaviour in individuals with developmental disabilities, whether at home or in a professional environment.

Wonderful book for parents of children with extra needs.
20 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback
I found this book to be the most useful and helpful book to me that I have ever read on this subject. He clearly explains the causes of behavior that we as parents struggle with. Most importantly to me, he begins with the idea that "people who can behave, will" and continues to advise that if there is a problem, that we, the service providers (his words encompassing all those who take care of the service users), should accept it as our problem, and therefore empower ourselves to change it. He then gives us techniques with which to do so. I truly did feel empowered by reading this book. I feel I now have the knowledge and ideas I need to approach difficult situations, and keep everyone safe and calm and in control of themselves. I have been recommending this book to all of my daughter's service providers as well as other parents. It's life changing.
Eye-Opening

I highly recommend this book for parents of kids with disabilities and for caregivers. It was really eye-opening for me as a parent to read a book that got me to look at my son's behaviors from his perspective and to glean some new ideas to help him navigate to the best of his abilities.
