Product Description
Review
"I would highly recommend the book as an excellent resource which every parent, carer and teacher of an autistic child would benefit from reading, taking examples directly or adapting the approach to fit specific situations and the personality of the child." (Autism) "Both format and tone are empowering to parents, and the book is an important contribution to the literature for parents of children with special needs. It has new insights and useful suggestions for the experienced clinician, as well." (Readings) "Those who care for autistic children will find [this book] to be a gold mine of useful ideas. Every family struggling with the problems of autism will find at least one - and probably many more - of the Manual's 350 instructive anecdotes to be worth the price of the book." (Bernard Rimland, Autism Research Institute, San Diego, California)

This review is from: Parent Survival Manual: A Guide to Crisis Resolution in Autism and Related Developmental Disorders (Paperback)
This book is an excellent, easy to read book on the subject of "challenging" behaviours in people with Autism/PDD. It provides both possible causes and solutions. Co-written by many behaviour therapists & parents and edited by Eric Scholper, it is solidly based, reputable and a wonderful aid for families who are dealing with "challenging behaviours". Highly recommended

Just what the title says!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Parent Survival Manual: A Guide to Crisis Resolution in Autism and Related Developmental Disorders (Paperback)
Practical, honest and realistic, this book recognizes that before they can do anything else, parents have got to prevent their autistic child from running into the middle of the road or flushing all the household's soap down the toilet.It's designed to be easy to read, with accounts of common (and uncommon) problems organized into sections (e.g. on agression, eating, or hygiene), so that it's possible for an exhausted parent to look up a specific problem without reading the whole book from start to finish. Each sections features accounts by parents of how they found a solution to a particular problem. Although the book is grounded in the wise and humane approach evolved by Dr Schopler and his colleagues over decades of research and practice, the emphasis throughout is on finding what works for a particular child or adult with autism, not imposing a rigid theory. Any parent of a child with an autistic spectrum condition (not to mention teachers and other professionals) will find something that they recognize here, and get advice from the true experts - other parents in the same boat. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful:

reader friendly,
By Amazolic - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Parent Survival Manual: A Guide to Crisis Resolution in Autism and Related Developmental Disorders (Paperback)
Like so many other autism books that may be too technical to understand, this book is easier to relate to. This book gives practical solutions to unexplainable behaviors and gives suggestions in turning negatives into positives.
There are many examples from real families. A MUST READ for parents who want to modify certain behaviors of their autistic child. |
