商品簡介
Clements, a clinical psychologist, describes a whole-school transition program developed at a school for young people with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Within a school culture of optimism and hope, the program can develop students' confidence and skills in building day-to-day relationships in adulthood. Student stories and staff perspectives accompany techniques for visual support for communication, developing a reflective self, body basics and massage, and reward and punishment. Appendices provide sample staff training materials, and a 25-page paper on the role of educational placement and parents on the school performance of children with ASD. B&w photos and illustrations are included. The readership for the book includes educators, parents, and professionals who provide services for people with ASD.
