Written by experienced education practitioners, it answers the many awkward tactical questions raised by having one or more pupils with Asperger syndrome in the classroom. It is brim full with practical tips and explanations. The booklet includes an 'Index of pen-pictures' to help parents find their child among the examples and directs them to the relevant section. Each section is then divided into 'What to look out for' followed by 'Things to try' to help the child's behaviour. This publication is practical and refreshingly accessible.
Advice is available on problems as diverse as touching to obsessions.
I highly recommend this booklet. Rosemary Siddles, NAS educational advisor. Written in plain English, it offers practical strategies for preventing or managing the sorts of challenging behaviour most likely to be encountered. With detailed case studies and key tips that allow it to be used as a quick reference, it also offers a step by step framework that enables readers to devise their own solutions. This book describes the autistic spectrum disorder, how to help those with the condition and the services available.
