This workbook has practical exercises to give children and teens
with high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome improve their social skills
and come to better emotional and intellectual understanding of their
disability. My son's speech pathologist at his school found this book to be an
invaluable resource and used this book extensively with him. It can be used by
parents or professionals alike, providing a wealth of activities to help
children understand learning styles, sensory experiences, artistic talent, other
people, communication, the school environment, friends, and
feelings.
In each of these areas, introductory material is addressed to
the parent or professional, explaining how they can help structure the child's
experience in order to promote understanding and positive interaction. The
special binding allows the book to lie flat for easy photocopying.
