In His Shoes |
Joanna L. Keating-Velasco |
$18.95 |
Imagine spending a year in middle school
without being able to talk with friends or understand the concept of
"hanging out."
Joanna Keating-Velasco's In His Shoes - A Short Journey Through Autism gives readers an opportunity to follow Nicholas Hansen, a 13-year-old boy with autism, as he transitions to middle school and faces all kinds of new experiences-new teachers, new friends, sounds and smells. But there's more to life than school. Accompany Nick to the beach, the mall, his birthday party, a track meet and his first school dance. As we view the world through Nick's eyes, we soon realize that, despite his challenges in many areas, particularly communication, his everyday life is very similar to that of other kids his age. In His Shoes offers a valuable tool for classrooms, community groups and families to promote discussions about life on the autism spectrum. Through a series of "Points to Ponder" after each chapter, young readers learn ways to offer support and encouragement to individuals with autism disorders and similar challenges. This book is great for students ages 11-15. |

Initiations and Interactions: Early Intervention Techniques(2) |
Teresa A. Cardon, M.A., CCC-SLP |
$19.95 |
Research suggests an early start is the
key to a successful intervention for children diagnosed with an autism
spectrum disorder. What many don't know is that research also shows that
for most early
intervention programs to be
effective, they must involve a child's primary caregivers, especially
when it comes to such an all-pervasive area as communication. This book
does not advocate that parents steer clear of therapists and
specialists. Instead, it attempts to put more control in the parents'
hands. Without adding to parents' already busy schedules, Teresa Cardon, a speech language pathologist and author of best-selling Let's Talk Emotions (see page 33), discusses the importance of creating a communication environment in the home. Simple everyday tools include deliberate use of books, toys, visual schedules, and labeling, among others. If your child is currently receiving several therapies, or if you are trying on your own to help encourage and foster communication interactions with your child, take the tools you find helpful in this book and make sure that a "family-centered" approach is part of your weekly regime. If your child is one of the thousands who have been "wait-listed" for services, wait no more - the tools are at your fingertips!

Jackson Whole Wyoming (7 copies)) |

Tyler is confused when he is selected by his entire fifth-grade class to present a going-away gift to Jackson, a classmate who is moving out of town. The agonizing dilemma is that while Tyler likes Jackson, he is a little embarrassed to admit it, and is worried about being "lumped together" with Jackson, whom many of the other students view as a bit "strange." The truth of the matter is that Jackson has Asperger Syndrome, which explains his sometimes bizarre behavior and lack of social skills. In the end, Tyler's kind nature prevails and he does a wonderful job of presenting a class book to the departing Jackson. This heart-warming and often humorous book paints a realistic picture of the ups and downs in the life of a fifth-grader and, more important, of a young boy with |

Learning With A Visual Brain In An Auditory World |
Ellyn Lucas Arwood, Ed.D., & Carole Kaulitz, M.Ed. |
$29.95 |
Children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often present parents and educators with perplexing symptoms. Even though the skills of children with ASD can range from very high to very low, they have similar underlying learning systems. Knowledge about these learning systems helps provide direction for choosing effective assessment and intervention methods for helping individuals with ASD learn to behave, to perform academically, and to become socially competent. This book is unique in that the authors are recommending strategies based on the language of the way individuals with ASD learn. Even though many scholars recognize that individuals with ASD use "visual" ways of thinking, most fail to realize that a visual mental language is different from the visual sensory system of seeing something. The book is divided into three sections. Section One (Chapters 1-5) is about the learning system. Section Two (Chapters 6-9) connects the learning of a child with ASD to how the child performs behaviorally, academically, and socially. Finally, Section Three (Chapters 10-15) provides intervention strategies for helping a person (child or adult) with the visual brain characteristic of ASD to fit into an auditory culture. The strategies are language-based and take into consideration the complexity of the underlying biological learning system. |

My Andrew |
Wallis A. Simpson |
$19.95 |
Discovering that your child has a
permanent pervasive developmental disorder is a shock to any parent. At
first, it is hard to believe that the diagnosis is true. But quickly,
you begin to immerse yourself in information to learn as much as you
can, as quickly as you can. When the author's son was diagnosed with ASD
at the age of four, she began collecting files of paperwork from doctors
and therapists, test results, IEPs, and her own journal writings. She
later combined this information in chronological order and used it as a
resource to explain her son to teachers, grandparents, caregivers,
therapists, and other parents. The result is My Andrew, a heartfelt look into the first eight years of a family's journey to raise their son with autism. Written in a journal format, this book presents what ASD means to a family's everyday life - the ups and downs, the victories and the setbacks. This book prepares the teacher, therapist, doctor, and family member for that proverbial "emotional rollercoaster" associated with living with ASD.

Out and About 2 Copies |
Jill Hudson, Amy Bixler Coffin |
$19.95 |
Authors Amy Bixler Coffin and Jill Hudson
have developed a to-the-point resource that will be used again and again
by parents and educators. The focus of Out and About: Preparing
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders to Participate in Their
Communities is on “the every day,” how to enable and support
individuals on the autism spectrum to participate, to the maximum extent
possible, in the community around them. In this simple book, the authors provide a framework for identifying the areas where an individual with ASD may need support to participate more fully and successfully in community activities. The framework, created as a Blueprint to be filled in, depending on the child and the outing being planned, lists 10 areas identified in best practice as effective types of support for children with ASD. Areas includewaiting plan, communication, social, visual, hidden curriculum, sensory, motivation, behavior, transition, and siblings or other students. For each area on the Blueprint, parents, teachers, coaches, family members—anybody who lives or works with the child—fills in ahead of time the support that best matches the child’s needs for a given event. The hope is that the specially designed Blueprint will become second nature to its users as they become more familiar with the areas of support the child needs in various situations.
