Autism A Social Skills Approach for Children & Adolescents | An excellent source of practical ideas that form the basis for programmes of intervention for children with autism. The content is primarily aimed at those working with children who have normal, or near normal, cognitive abilities, rather than those who work with children whose autism accompanies severe learning disabilities. - Offers children with autism an accessible route to a social skills programme and practitioners the opportunity to help students enhance their quality of life. - This approach to remediation appreciates that a disorder affecting social functioning should be remediated by focusing on this area. - The authors are speech language therapists who work both in the community and in educational settings.
Assessment; Setting the scene for intervention; Pre-school intervention; Infant-level intervention; Junior-level intervention; Intervention with older children and adolescents; Further practicalities

Groupwork for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Ages 3-5 is the first of three books promoting a multidisciplinary approach to working with children on the autism spectrum. The author team of speech & language therapists and occupational therapists have used their experience of working together in this way to create a practical resource for professionals working with children with ASD in small groups. The book aims to develop the children's skills in seven key areas of development:
Communication & Language
Socialisation
Play
Sensory
Motor
Behaviour
Emotional
Case studies, working examples, photocopiable checklists, assessment forms and session sheets are provided for group facilitators to:
Assess individual needs
Set individual targets
Create personalised programmes
Plan & run group sessions
Evaluate progress
Carry out peer reviews
Forty photocopiable activities, differentiated according to the developmental area being targeted as well as the developmental level of the child, are also included. Groupwork for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Ages 3-5 provides an invaluable resource for speech & language therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, play therapists, family therapists, teachers, support staff and all those working to develop the children's skills in small groups. Parents and carers are actively encouraged to participate in gruopwork with their child.

Groupwork for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Ages 11-16 An Integrated Approach | This book includes a short, easy-to-read theoretical background to ASD focusing on the underlying impairments and their impact on sensory processing, motor development, play, language and communication skills, social skills, emotional development and behaviour for the relevant age group. Each developmental area is intrinsically linked and progress in one aspect of development is dependent on progress in another so a multi-disciplinary approach is essential. All the books examine the role of various individual professionals while emphasising the need to develop a multi-disciplinary approach combining their areas of expertise. The book also describes a multi-disciplinary approach to groupwork providing practical advice and photocopiable resources to enable readers to: • Assess individual needs • Organise groups (including group members, venue and transport) • Set individual group targets • Plan group sessions (examples of activities for each developmental area are provided) • Evaluate progress. It offers ideas for developing good teamwork, including peer review, and working towards a trans-disciplinary approach where professionals can step into each others’ roles where appropriate. 256pp, A4, wire-o-bound Ages 11-16

Groupwork for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Ages 11-16An Integrated Approach |

From the authors of Autism: A Social Skills Approach for Children Adolescents, this publication contains detailed photocopiable session plans for different age groups ranging from early years to adolescence. The emphasis is on integrated working practices that cross professional boundaries particularly for teachers and speech language therapists. Although it would make sense to apply the programme primarily to able and verbal children with an autistic spectrum disorder, the authors believe that a social-skills approach is relevant to the needs of a much wider group of children than those with a formal diagnosis. At the early-years level the programme introduces children to good attention behaviour, which includes looking, listening and turn-taking. By adolescence, the participants are helped to deal effectively with real-life situations, as well as gaining some insight into the thoughts, perspectives and intentions of others. 'The programmes can be integrated to include aspects of the national curriculum, and their usefulness lies in their flexibility. 'The session plans can be used as presented, or adjusted to meet the needs of particular groups in both clinical and educational settings. 'Reflects the current focus for inclusion and the integration of children with special needs into mainstream educational settings.
