Mindy Small (Autism Services, HG Birch Services, NY), Lisa Kontente (HG Birch Services, NY)
True to its title, this comprehensive resource offers parents and other caregivers practical and effective approaches to solving the many puzzles of daily living with a child with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) - from dressing, toileting, and eating, to going to the playground, visiting the dentist, getting used to a new baby, and many, many more.
Each of the everyday scenarios presented is broken down into four components for ease of use:
• The presenting problem is defined
• Its possible relevance to ASD is explained
• Recommendations and strategies are offered
• A summary conclusion is provided
The authors first-hand experiences working with a wide range of families show in this invaluable manual for novice as well as experienced parents.
