Description
Assessing and supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder requires a comprehensive approach. This practical guide provides professionals with the tools to assess and diagnose ASD, plan interventions, and track progress. The book includes four handy checklists covering key skills such as learning style, social communication, and social understanding. Theoretical background is complemented by detailed guidelines for completing the checklists and analysing results. Additional resources include case studies, in-depth descriptions of interventions, photocopiable worksheets, and visual aids to support evidence-based practice. By providing a powerful insight into the experiences of children with ASD within a school setting, this book offers valuable strategies for reducing anxiety that may lead to school refusal. Already successfully trialled within multi-disciplinary teams, it is an essential resource for professionals including teachers, SENCOs, educational and clinical psychologists, and occupational therapists.
