Description
A practical guide to supporting children with both autism and severe learning difficulties, this book provides thorough information on effective treatment and care from early childhood through adulthood.
It offers frank discussions on the implications of dual diagnosis, characteristic behavior and development stages, fostering social interaction among other children, understanding and managing challenging behavior, as well as sexuality and the transition to adulthood. Detailed examples illustrate how behavior can be understood and how to build on individual strengths.
Support for parents is also addressed in this comprehensive resource, helping educators, caregivers, and parents navigate the challenges of working with children with autism and severe learning difficulties.
