Summary
Adult
This easy-to-follow resource provides a complete toolbox of social skills and the means to attain
them so that students may approach their futures with excitement rather than anxiety. It tackles a
wide variety of issues such a perspective-taking, nonverbal communication skills, conversational
skills and stress management.
This is a very user-friendly book that provides a wealth of ready-to-use activities for both parents and
educators working with children and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome and social communication
problems. The centerpiece of the book is a series of seventy specific skills found to cause problems
for these individuals. Each skill is presented in a hand format with the skill to be learned on one page
and the related activities on the facing page. The last chapter on sensitivity and awareness training
make this a complete social skills package.
This book uses photographs of actual students engaging in a wide variety of social situations to
show the right (and wrong) ways to interact in different circumstances. Most importantly, the photos
illustrate the positive and negative consequences of both ways of interacting.
This book embraces the “seeing is learning” philosophy in this teaching tool. Photos engage the
attention and motivation of students who need extra help in learning appropriate social skills.
Early Childhood The author discusses strategies for a successful early intervention program, behavior challenges and
meltdowns, and useful resources for parents of children with autism spectrum disorders. Included in
the back of the book are appendices with a "Day in the Life" example of the author's strategies in
practice and a sample Individual Family Services Plan.

Often adults think we understand how children with sensory processing disorders feel. In this easy to
use format, the author give tools to experience the effort and exertion it takes to do simple tasks
while struggling with sensory processing difficulties. One caution should be heeded, while children
with ASD may have sensory processing difficulties, sensory processing disorder is not a given for
every child on the spectrum.
Each of the creative theme-based group lessons in this practical resource follows a sensoryintegrated developmental sequence consisting of seven activities, all related to the theme. For
maximum flexibility, suggestions for adaptation and modification for individual students are included,
along with instructions for how to develop additional lessons. Finally, a chapter on school readiness
skills shows how the lessons prepare children for later success in school.
Learn to Move, Moving Up! focuses on elementary-school age students with sensory processing
disorders. The centerpiece of the book consists of 30 sensorimotor, theme-based lesson plans that
include literacy and curriculum suggestions for teachers, and suggests ways that they can be
incorporated into busy elementary school schedules and environments

Summary
The author shares her experience the simple concept of 5-point scales to help students understand
and control their emotional reactions to everyday events that might otherwise set in emotion
escalating reactions. Whether it is inappropriate touching, obsessions, yelling, hitting or making
hurtful statements to classmates, use of the scale helps break down a given behavior and, with the
student‚s active participation, develop a unique scale that identifies the problem and, just as
important, suggests alternative, positive behaviors at each level of the scale.

These recipe lessons are opportunities to practice simple, "real-world" activities that were designed
to provide "hands-on" ways to help students improve sequencing, reading comprehension,
vocabulary, expressive language, problem-solving, written language, and social skills. Multiplechoice activities prepare students for standardized test formats.
Motivate students to learn basic reading and writing skills with the fun step-by-step cooking activities
and corresponding worksheets in these three binders. The easy-to-follow recipes offer life-skills
experience as students prepare food themselves using common inexpensive ingredients. Each
recipe features illustrated and non-illustrated activities to allow teachers to use the same lesson plan
with students of varying abilities.
Getting the Message, by the same author of Picture Directions, Pat Crissey, looks at non-verbal
communication as a highly complex and subtle language, but an essential one that students must

Summary
Communication This resource pairs the communication needs of the child with autism with techniques that facilitate
learning in activities that foster receptive, expressive, and social language development. Each unit
addressed includes mirror work, naming pictures, game time, rebus stories, worksheet practice,
making a craft, and expansion activities on the units that are based on common fairy tales.
Nick discusses his own experiences at work and highlights challenges common among employees
with AS. Dubin advises how to succeed in the workplace and offers practical advice on finding
employment in line with your interests, making use of job coaches, developing self esteem, using
you strengths, and being honest about weaknesses.
The School-Based Model of Individualized Positive Behavior Support is the first practical guide to the
research-proven Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (PTR) model. DARES faculty and staff, including Kathy
Christiansen, Glen Dunlap, Rose Iovannone, and Don Kincaid co-authored the easy-to-use book
aimed at solving serious behavior challenges in K–8 classrooms. The innovative model gives schoolbased teams a five-step plan for reducing problems unresolved by typical behavior management
strategies.
The program presented in this manual is derived from many previous studies of toilet training which
have been reported in professional journals. It is designed to be used concurrently in homes,
schools, clinics, recreation centers, and all other places that are included in the child’s normal
routine.
Self Regulation The authors share their successful use of the simple concept of 5-point scales to help students
understand and control their emotional reactions to everyday events that might otherwise set in
emotion escalating reactions in this 22 minute video. Whether it is inappropriate touching,
obsessions, yelling, hitting or making hurtful statements to classmates, use of the scale helps break
down a given behavior and, with the student‚s active participation, develop a unique scale that
identifies the problem and, just as important, suggests alternative, positive behaviors at each level of
the scale.
Social
This program was developed for schools that wish to make a serious commitment to helping children
with High Functioning Autism, Asperger Syndrome and other PDDs successfully and enjoyably
interact with others at school, at home, and in the community.
Instruction
This book is full of creative ideas for making work tasks or jigs for exceptional students including
those on the autism spectrum. Tasks vary from easy to complex.
Instruction
Designed for teachers, therapists and parents this book features over 240 full-color photos of multimodal tasks that emphasize functional skills for daily living. Each task includes visual strategies that
enhance independence in the home, school, and community.

People with autism often experience difficulty in understanding and expressing their emotions and
react to losses in different ways or in ways that carers do not understand. In order to provide
effective support, carers need to have the understanding, the skills and appropriate resources to
work through these emotional reactions with them. Autism and Loss is a complete resource that
covers a variety of kinds of loss, including bereavement, loss of friends or staff, loss of home or
possessions and loss of health.
This cross-disciplinary reference offers a thorough overview of the communication, language, social,
and behavioral issues characteristic of ASDs. Based on meticulous research in the core areas of
ASDs-communication, socialization, emotional regulation, and symbolic development-the authors
offer practical guidelines for intervention designed for children with autism and their families.

Practices Throughout the Student’s Day
Instruction
This comprehensive, yet easy-to-use system allows educators to understand how and when to
implement an instructional program for students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The CAPS
model answers the questions (a) What supports does my student/child need in each class to be
successful? (b) What goals is my student/child working on? and (c) Is there a thoughtful sequence to
the student’s/child’s day that matches his learning style. This timely resource addresses adequate
yearly progress (AYP), response to intervention (RTI), and positive behavior support (PBS) in a
common-sense format. The CAPS process was designed to be used by the child’s educational team,
consisting of parents, general educators, special educators, paraprofessionals, speech-language
pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, administrators, psychologists, consultants,
siblings, and others who are stakeholders in the student’s education.

In His Shoes: A Short Journey through Autism
Book
Transition
Entering junior high school can be stressful and daunting for any kid, but for Nick Hansen, who is
non-verbal because of his autism, it would be doubly hard. Joanna Keating-Velasco, author of In His
Shoes, takes us through that year of transition with Nick, sharing his experiences, feelings, and
reactions to a variety of scenarios encountered by the typical seventh grader, including Nick's first
dance, track practice, and changing for gym in the locker room with the other boys in his gym class.

Packed with creative adaptation ideas like fidget bags, doodle notes, and choice boards, this book
gives K-12 educators 100 teacher-designed, kid-tested strategies they can use to meet the needs of
all students in inclusive classrooms.
Special Interest When learners with autism have deep, consuming fascinations—trains, triangles, basketballs,
whales—teachers often wonder what to do. This concise, highly practical guidebook gives educators
across grade levels a powerful new way to think about students' "obsessions": as positive teaching
tools that calm, motivate, and improve learning.
Instruction
“A Land We Can Share” moves beyond functional literacy skills and helps K-12 educators bring highquality, meaningful literacy instruction to students with autism. This groundbreaking guide shows
teachers how to implement research-based practices in reading and writing instruction; plan effective
lessons that build on students’ strengths, interests, and individual needs; design a classroom
environment that promotes literacy learning for all students while addressing the needs of learners
with autism; assess students who do not or cannot show their literacy learning in traditional ways;
include students with autism in a wide range of classroom literacy.

This interactive workbook is designed for young people grades 5 through 8 for use with guidance
from a helping adult. Astutely written to be understood by these particular adolescents, An Owner’s
Manual describes what Asperger syndrome is and how it can affect daily life. With the help of a
trusted adult, the child completes a series of exercises related to learning style, sensory issues,
emotions, relationships, and more, culminating in a written plan for each major area of his life that
will serve as a constant guide and reinforcement. This manual is designed to be used at different
times throughout the child’s life, including diagnosis and when problems arise. This unique workbook
not only reassures the young person that the things he is struggling with can improve, but also
empowers him by providing a chance to identify his needs and to participate in developing
interventions and future planning
Asperger Syndrome - An Owner's Manual is written for primarily middle school-age children. Using
an easy-to-follow format, this interactive workbook deals with issues that older adolescents and
adults face such as relationships, marriage, independent living, employment, and self-care. The
author uses the nonagram, a nine-pointed star symbolizing achievement and completeness to
visually guide readers through each major section of the book. This much-needed resource is
designed to inform and support individuals with AS as they come to grips with their strengths and
challenges and plan for a successful adulthood within the neurotypical world.
Preschool SENSE helps teachers recognize the emerging patterns of sensory issues and sensory
processing disorder among their most-challenging students. Offering side-by-side examples of
typical and atypical responses to everyday sensory stimuli, this program assists teachers and
therapists to help preschoolers improve their learning and behavior.

experience negative feelings as well as strong feelings of loyalty, responsibility, and love for their
brother or sister with autism.
This book uses Dr. Zork Tripork lecturing a group of curious aliens to explain basic rules of behavior

practice makes perfect."

Superflex: A Superhero Social Thinking Curriculum provides educators and parents with fun and
motivating ways to teach elementary school students with Asperger Syndrome and high-functioning
autism how to build social skills. Superflex combines a book, comic book and CD to create a
curriculum that develops in the students' brains a superhero who overcomes the social thinking
challenges that arise in different social contexts. The curriculum is for elementary school children
(grades K-5) as well as immature older students. Prerequisite books to make this tool most effective:
Thinking About You Thinking About Me and You Are A Social Detective .
This innovative curriculum teaches important hygiene skills and associated social understanding
using a fun approach that targets the core characteristics and learning styles of children and
adolescents on the autism spectrum. The author's generous use of structure, predictability, selfmonitoring, and ways to convey and check for social understanding is worked into all discussion and
activities. Ranging from basic daily hygiene to picking, using public restrooms, burping, and farting,
topics focus on healthy and socially acceptable behaviors. The book is the answer to the constant
search for inventive and intriguing ways to teach often quite boring topics surrounding functional life
skills
Parents and teachers have collaborated on this manual on early intervention. It includes target
behavior worksheets, legal and educational resources, answers to commonly asked questions and
more. This book guides the reader through the maze of treatment options, separating those that are
credible from those that are unproven.

"Social Behavior Mapping" helps students to understand how our behaviors (expected and
unexpected) impact how people feel, which then impacts how they treat us, which then impacts how
we feel about ourselves. Social behavior maps demonstrate to students how we all impact each
other emotionally and behaviorally. This technique is not a panacea, but instead helps to demystify
the complexity of social thought and related behaviors. For 3rd through 12th grade.
