One of the major difficulties for children with autism is in developing communication and language. The earlier this problem is addressed, the more effectively these skills can be improved.
Inspired by research and clinical practice, this book addresses communication and language development of children with autism, from teaching non-verbal communication such as pointing, to moving towards spoken language. This book champions initial intervention with children at an early stage of communication, but the many practical ideas and strategies can also be usefully applied to children of school age, if they are at an early stage of communication.
First Steps in Intervention With Your Child With Autism is perfect for parents looking to understand their child better and, in turn, help improve their child’s development and communication. This will also be a useful reference for all professionals working to support families with a child on the autism spectrum.
