Autism 24/7: A Family Guide to Learning at Home and in the Community
If your son or daughter is over-stimulated by noisy places or has trouble communicating or interacting with people, then everyday activities like going to the playground or helping out with household chores may seem outside your child\'s repertoire. Authors Bondy and Frost, the founders of the award-winning Pyramid Approach to educating children with autism, show how it is possible to keep family life running smoothly and teach a child with autism to participate in important and routine family activities at home and in the neighborhood. And their teaching strategies can be used during the course of everyday life without making too many adjustments or converting your home into a school.In a reassuring, easy-to-read style, the book encourages parents to pinpoint times when their child\'s behavior or lack of skills seems to interfere with family functioning. This step helps identify what to teach your child and what goals to set.
Autism 24/7 gives families confidence and concrete tools to integrate their child with autism into life at home and in their community as much as possible.
