Product Description

Review

'In my experience, Intensive Interaction can make a life changing difference to those with autism or complex learning difficulties. If you already use Intensive Interaction, this book is an essential reminder of what makes it special - if not, it will inspire you to give it a try!' -
Nicky Phillips, Educational Psychologist and co-author of 'Teaching Play to Children with Autism'

Product Description

Intensive interaction is an approach to teaching the pre-speech fundamentals of communication to children and adults who have severe learning difficulties or autism, and who are still at an early stage of communication development. This book is a practical guide to help those wishing to implement intensive interaction in their setting, and it provides detailed advice and step-by-step guidance as well as a consideration of all the issues associated with carrying out this approach.

It considers:

- preparing for intensive interaction

- observing intensive interaction in progress

- doing intensive interaction at home and at work

- teamwork

- wellbeing

- record-keeping

This book is a straightforward guide for anyone wanting to use intensive interaction with people with severe and complex learning difficulties, people who have very severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties, multi-sensory impairments, and people who have a diagnosis of autism.

Format:Paperback
This is an easy read, full of practical tips. It will be useful for people new to the approach but is also a great book for those who are an 'old-hand'. It is a great resource to have sitting on the coffee table at work to spark interest and discussion!

A great 'how to ' book 14 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the most wonderful book for anyone interested in using Intensive Interaction as part of their practice or pedagogy. It is a really useful summary for Teacher aides, Carers and Parents, It is laid out in a easy to read format, giving information in bullet point, illustrated with case studies with a real feel in the narrative that this is written by very skilled practitioners who just want to share their skills. If anyone is in doubt about the sheer joy of interacting with an individual who is ' difficult to reach' then read this and have a go yourself.
The chapters are by various authors, and their indiviudal style and approaches are obvious, but this adds to the readability of what is essentially a text book. Well done.
