Efrosini Kalyva writes accessibly about recent scientific evidence and the latest research, and allows you to consider the pros and cons of each approach. She focuses on the following areas:
- cognitive-behavioural approaches
- developing social interaction
- alternative communication strategies
- developing play
- sensory-motor approaches
- psychotherapeutic approaches
- biochemical approaches
This much-needed guide for practitioners and student teachers will also appeal to interested parents, and to anyone looking for a comparative examination of the variety of treatments on offer.
This book offers an insight into the treatments and interventions for ASD. It is concise, clear and objective.
This book presents information about ASD and interventions based on relevant practical experience in an objective and academic way while also providing appropriate and useful practical strategies. It has provided a relevant and insightful perspective to the notion of co-occurrence on my MA course: Dyslexia Research and Practice and British Dyslexia Association's Approved Teacher Status and Approved Practitioner Status awards.
Very good introduction to Autism. Again will be an enrichment module on our newly validated degree and therefore will be a recommended book
A highly academic textbook yet with lots of implementable strategies!
This is a very interesting, helpful and timely critique of strategies and approaches which have been claimed to "treat" autism. However, what we really need for our Primary PGCE course is a text which more directly provides avdice and guidance to the non-specialist mainstream teacher encountering autism in the primary classroom.
A very useful book in terms of offering strategies to engage Autistic learners
Good clear informative text on a number of inteventions currently used with students with ASD. I found this good level for my B.Ed course
