Description
This handbook provides practical tools for supporting individuals with severe autism spectrum disorder. People with severe autism experience the world in a unique way, feeling overwhelmed and cut off from their surroundings. By using Intensive Interaction and Sensory Integration techniques, it is possible to engage with them and help them make sense of their environment.
Intensive Interaction focuses on using a person's body language to establish contact, while Sensory Integration develops an individual's ability to process sensory information through targeted physical activities. This approach can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each person, reducing factors that cause distress and promoting a more comfortable and engaging environment.
With illustrations, case examples, and a range of tried-and-tested techniques, this handbook is an indispensable resource for parents, carers, and professionals supporting individuals with severe autism and other learning disabilities.
