Teaching Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Paperback – Illustrated, September 1, 2006

It is truly refreshing and impressive to find a book that treats the young child with Autism in a sensitive, holistic, matter of fact, and humane manner! Written by a very knowledgeable and supremely talented teacher, this book is a terrific resource for a true, collaborative, and methodical team approach to preschool Autism Intervention. It's filled with practical information about behavior management for "stemming" and "meltdowns", sensory processing issues, social communication issues, and even delayed onset of play skills; so crucial for early learning. I like this book so much, it has been featured in my Socially Speaking(tm) seminars and website for some time, and is on my keeper shelf!I LOVE the way the chapters are organized and how the book is formatted!Every page in every chapter is divided into 3 sections: What to Do, Helpful Hints, and a sidebar that has three suggestions: Objective, When to Use This Strategy, Materials Needed. A helpful reading list (resources) and terminology list (key terms) round out the flow of information, in easy to read, easy to understand chunks. The book layout is also visually appealing and really easy on the eyes :) The final chapter, "We're All In This Together" beautifully hits home the importance of a team approach and that counseling and educating the team members is an ONGOING privilege and process.This book is a much needed resource for parents/professionals in the Autism community no matter which age/stage! I enjoyed reading it, and have enjoyed implementing it even more! Read it and you'll see what I mean :)Penina Rybak MA/CCC-SLP, TSHHSpeech-Language Pathologist and Educational Technology ConsultantFounder/CEO Socially Speaking LLCAuthor: "The NICE Reboot: How to Become a Better Female Entrepreneur-How to Balance Your Craving for Humanity & Technology in Today's Startup Culture"Creator: The Socially Speaking(tm) App for iPadWebsites: sociallyspeakingLLC.com, niceinitiative.comFacebook: Socially Speaking LLCGoogle+, The NICE Initiative for Female Entrepreneurship, Socially Speaking LLCYouTube: storytellergal, socialslpVimeo: Penina RybakPinterest: Penina RybakTwitter: @PopGoesPenina

I'm returning to work as a special education learning support teacher after a 7 year break while having my babies. I will be working with preschool aged children and needed to "brush up" on terms and milestones. This book was the perfect way to refresh knowledge I haven't used in years. It is written in easy to read language with lots of examples, strategies and sample lessons. Sometimes education books are written like college textbooks, stating the term, but never giving real life solutions and examples. This book is exactly what I wanted to get ready for my upcoming position!

This book offers tips for teacher and parent alike. I especially liked the chapters on communication and sensory issues, but others like toilet training, socialization, and self-harm offer suggestions for coping and teaching strategies as well. Peruse the table of contents for a full viewing of topics. I highly recommend this book!

Easy to use and read. Has a bunch of good information in it.
