Description
Understanding Autism: A Guide to Theory and Practice This book offers a comprehensive overview of the evolving theories on autism and their impact on interventions and outcomes in education. Drawing on 30 years of professional experience and detailed research, Catherine Harvey explores the myths surrounding autism and advocates for a more nuanced understanding of the condition as difference rather than impairment. Harvey provides practical guidance on teaching and learning, behaviour management, and addressing the sensory and physical needs of children with autism spectrum disorders. By examining the history of autism research and learning from past mistakes, she offers a valuable framework for creating supportive environments for children on the autism spectrum. This accessible guide provides a clear and practical approach to understanding and supporting children with autism, making it an invaluable resource for parents, educators, and professionals working with children with autism spectrum disorders.
