Product description

From the Back Cover

What do you do when a three-year-old with autism falls on the floor kicking and screaming?

How do you communicate with a child who looks away and flaps his hands?

Who can help if you suspect a child in your class has autism?

Each chapter offers specific strategies for teachers to use, including setting up a proactive preschool environment, helping children learn life skills, managing behavior, helping children with autism communicate, encouraging children with autism to play, helping them to get along with others, and working with families. Teaching Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder helps teachers connect with all children in meaningful ways, allowing children with autism to learn and grow.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sensitive, practical, humane approach to Whole Body Learning, for the Whole Child, who happens to have Autism :)
Reviewed in the United States on 19 March 2014

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 :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was hoping for!

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!
