A NAPPAÿ Gold Winner in the 2009 National Parenting Publications AwardsFinalist in the 2008 ForeWord Book of the Year Awards!Gold Award Winner in the 2009 Independent Publisher Book Award!ÿLeave behind confusing textbooks and unreliable websites. This book will guide you through your child's early years by providing sound advice based on over twenty years of experience. In an easy-to-read, question-answer format, Dr. Jim explains what makes your child tick, how to get the most out of early intervention services, and how to choose the most effective treatment options. Helpful features include:
  • 10 Common Myths about Children with ASD
  • 7 Effective Teaching Strategies
  • 10 Behavior Rules to Live By
  • Must-have EI Goals and Objectives for Children with ASD.
In a special how-to section in the book, Dr. Jim walks you through a typical day in the life of a young child with autism, from the time the child wakes up to the time he goes to bed. You will learn what to do (and not do), what to say (and not say), and how to use the strategies outlined in the book to teach your child new skills, manage behavior, and have fun while learning! No matter what your level of "autism expertise," this is your game plan to start working with your child RIGHT AWAY!

ÿHelpful chapters include:
  • A Real-life Look at the Autism Spectrum
  • Family Issues: The Personal Side of Autism
  • What is Early Intervention?
  • Building Your Dream Team
  • Assessment: A Picture of Your Child's Strengths and Challenges
  • Blueprint for a Perfect Program
  • Options, Options, Options! Choosing the Right Intervention Model for the ASD Child
  • From Good to Bad to Meltdown: Understanding Your Child's Behavior Challenges

  • The Next Step: Transitioning from Early Intervention to Public School Programs
Industry Reviews

"If you have a child with autism, Early Intervention & Autism: Real-life Questions, Real-life Answers will become an essential addition to your library, the book that sits at your bedside table, the one you open again and again when questions loom large. It explains early intervention, but it offers so much more.... Early Intervention & Autism gives parents the hands-on tools and strategies to start working effectively with a child, even before EI services kick in. Autism is a continuum; each child with ASD is unique. As Dr. Jim makes clear, there is no one-size-fits-all intervention. His focus is always on the child, treating the child, not the symptoms."

Dr. Temple Grandin
