Peer Play and the Autism Spectrum |
Pamela J. Wolfberg |
$39.95 |
Picture a childhood void of the joyful
images and sensations we associate with play - a childhood lacking in
curiosity, diversity and symbolic meaning - a childhood without
playmates or friends. Children on the autism spectrum are among those
who face serious challenges learning how to play in both social and
imaginative ways.
But no longer do these children have to remain lost souls on the fringes of playgrounds and other social gathering places. In Peer Play and the Autism Spectrum: The Art of Guiding Children's Socialization and Imagination Pamela Wolfberg turns her award-winning research into a practical manual for practitioners and caregivers seeking to address the unique and complex challenges children on the autism spectrum experience. in peer relations and play. This practical guide offers an introduction to the basic principles, tools and techniques that comprise the Integrated Play Groups model, designed to support children of diverse ages and abilities on the autism spectrum (novice players) in mutually enjoyed play experiences with typical peers and siblings (expert players). Small groups of children regularly play together under the guidance of an adult facilitator (play guide) through a carefully tailored system of support. The emphasis is on maximizing children's developmental potential as well as intrinsic desire to play, socialize and form meaningful relationships with peers. At the same time, an equally important focus is on teaching the peer group to be more accepting, responsive and inclusive of children who relate and play in different ways. This innovative book is full of forms, checklists and other tools to facilitate implementation.

Perfect Targets: Asperger Syndrome and Bullying(2) |
Rebekah Heinrichs |
$21.95 |
Most children and adolescents with
high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome are victims of bullying at
school and in the community. Indeed, some of their unique behaviors and
characteristics make many of these children easy targets for chronic,
frequent and severe bullying. This book takes an honest look at the different types of bullying and the actions adults must take to curb bullying, thereby helping to prevent the often lifelong effects of this insidious form of behavior on victims. Practical strategies and solutions at the school, class and individual level are presented.

Pirates: An Early-Years Group Program for Developing Social Understanding… |
Dr. Margaret Anne Carter and Josie Santomauro |
$29.95 |
Based on a pirate theme, this social
understanding program is for preschool-to third-grade children who have
social cognitive challenges, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
The program is designed to help these children learn constructive social
interaction skills in the area of friendship making, social problem
solving, and emotional expression.
This eight-adventure pirate voyage includes the following focus areas: social understanding, friendship making, emotional literacy and emotional expression, relaxing, social problem solving, and responding to bullying incidents. Some of the adventures include: "Pirates and Buccaneers" where the pirates are introduced to helpful versus unhelpful ways of being a friend, and "Shiver Me Timbers" where the pirates explore appropriate ways to express their emotions. The program is divided into four levels: preschool/kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3, and is to be facilitated during school time by a teacher, counselor, therapist, or paraprofessional (the captain) with either the full class or a small group (the pirates). A newsletter titled "Ship-to-Shore" outlining each adventure is provided for home to ensure that children have an opportunity to transfer their learning across home and school contexts.

Practical Solutions for Educating Young Children with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome 2 Copies |
Mary Jane Weiss, Ph.D. |
$21.95 |
Practical Solutions for Educating
Young Children with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome
is designed to help parents and professionals navigate the challenges
for early learners with high-functioning autism (HFA) and Asperger
Syndrome (AS). Because their deficits are more subtle, these children
may be less understood by educational professionals. This book is a
much-needed resource to help teachers understand their younger child
with HFA or AS. Throughout Practical Solutions for Educating Young Children with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome, examples are given to highlight useful strategies. In the first chapter, the author builds a foundation by explaining HFA/AS and some typical characteristics, such as sensory issues, attention deficit disorders, and difficulties of socialization. Later in the book, she dedicates an entire chapter to the educational setting and transition planning, including the process of moving into kindergarten or first grade, shadowing, and planning for inclusion. Finally, two in-depth case studies at
the end of the book put it all together. Each case study typifies the
kinds of challenges common to children

Recipe Handbook of Easy to use Activities for Teaching Autistic Children… 2 Copies |
Barbara Bazeghi |
$29.95 |
Throughout her eight years of working
with children with autism, Bazeghi created a number of methods for
teaching easy to use activities. These activities were developed through
trial and error, and she has compiled the most successful ones into
Recipe Handbook. The purpose of this handbook is to offer a new
approach, giving the reader something that is not currently available.
It offers experimental activities that can be applied quickly and with
very little preparation. Instead of adding to the excellent number of
books, magazines, and journals, it complements them with hands-on
activities. The book consists of four sections: · Activities: includes language, math, colors and shapes, inclusion/circle of friends, and applied activities · Methods: includes charts, schedules, and “How to…” techniques · Problem Solving: includes practical suggestions to deal with difficult situations such as temper tantrums, toilet training, and fixations · Commercial Resource Index: includes an reference to websites, catalogs, suppliers, materials, and information that is pertinent to the education of special needs children. The handbook also includes many activities, sample letters and notes to parents and faculty, reproducible pages, and a problem solving section.

Running on Dreams 2 Copies |
Herb Heiman |
$18.95 |
This book tells the story of Justin, a
15-year-old boy with autism who is starting his first semester in a
mainstream school, and Brad, the school track star, all-around "cool
guy," and Justin's assigned "buddy." In Running on Dreams, these two
middle-school boys are tossed together in a story of teenage angst,
confusion, and friendship. For adolescents with autism and their
neurotypical peers alike, the book is written from both Justin's and
Brad's perspectives as they struggle to understand each other and
themselves. Join Brad and Justin as they embark upon several teen benchmarks: the first date, rejection by peers, family pressure to succeed, fitting in with the "right" crowd, experiencing teenage sexuality, and dealing with the "outsider kid" who is perceived as "not cool." This book captures many bittersweet and humorous events that bring new insight to a familiar world - the world of heartbreak for two boys whose relationship starts out quite turbulent but evolves into a friendship of loyalty and trust. |

Sharing Information About Your Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder |
Beverly Vicker, M.S. |
$24.95 |
Leaving a child with a paid respite care
worker, friend, neighbor, or even an extended family member, represents
a potentially stressful situation for parents of children who have an
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or any other developmental challenge.
Sharing Information About Your Child with Autism Spectrum Disorders:
What Do Respite or Alternative Caregivers Need to Know eases some of
the apprehensions associated with parents communicating their child’s
behavior, daily living patterns and food rituals to a person who is not
familiar with the child. A caregiver might forget important verbal
suggestions from the parents, but if the information is written down,
the caregiver has a backup resource to aid his or her memory recall
while the parents are away. Sharing Information about Your Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder is broken down into five sections. The first section describes how parents can document their child’s medical issues, preferences, skill levels, and other information. The second section consists of short handouts that can help respite workers understand general topics such as the importance of routines or relaxation strategies. In the third section, case studies illustrate, for example, how information about behavior and positive behavior supports might be shared, in a written format, between a parent and respite worker. Section 4 contains blank forms for parents to use for paper-and-pencil preparation of information material. In addition, an accompanying CD allows parents to use their computer to prepare the information sheets and to print the supplementary handouts. Updating information is especially easy when the computer option is used. Section 5 provides references and suggested reading or viewing material. No other book leads parents through this process of information sharing like Sharing Information about Your Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is very challenging to prepare someone for the task of childcare; this book helps parents to remember to share the important “stuff” about their particular child.

Not boggled down with jargon, the book includes tables and boxes for quick reference and clear meaning. Also included is information on what can cause anxiety for the AS/HFA student, how this can lead to decreased academic and social performance, decreased attention to task, and potential increases in behavior problems, and what the teacher can do to assist. |

Staying in the Game |
James W. Loomis |
$19.95 |
Staying in the Game
picks up where many social skills training programs leave off - with
generalization. The book addresses this void by presenting a range of
interventions aimed at promoting generalization of social skills by
showing how to establish social situations that can be opportunities for
generalization.
Chapter 1 presents the principles upon which Staying in the Game is based and describes a model to guide efforts to enable successful generalization. Chapters 2 and 3 look at the process of identifying and assessing social opportunities and ensuring success. Chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7 each addresses one type of intervention: group-based work (Chapter 4), interventions by staff and parents (Chapter 5), using peer mentors (Chapter 6), and adapting extracurricular activities (Chapter 7). Chapter 8: Concludes with an overview of how to provide social opportunities. The focus of Staying in the Game goes beyond just placing students in the mainstream, to include taking advantage of inclusion by facilitating the use of typical students to address generalization of social skills - one of the most profound challenges for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Sticker Strategies: Practical Strategies to Encourage Social Thinking and Organization |
Michelle Garcia Winner |
$48.00 |
Sticker Strategies
includes over 80 fundamental teaching concepts/student strategies that
have been printed onto color-coded 4x6 inch stickers to apply to a
spiral-bound set of index cards for a student to use at his or her desk
while at school or home. The text on the stickers is also provided on an
additional page for copying for future use with different students. The
goal of the sticker strategy tool is for teachers to work with students
to determine which strategies or social thinking reminders fit best for
each student; a small book of key strategies can then be developed based
on the student's needs that the student can transport around campus. Michelle developed this product to help students, parents and teachers work towards the concept that students have to “own their own strategies. These color-coded Strategy Stickers help students to learn to be better social thinkers and organized across the environments of home and school. Blank stickers at the end of each chapter allow for the creation of individual, unique stickers. Use this book as a launching pad to create your own customized strategies!

Strategies at Hand 3 Copies |
Robin D. Brewer, Ed.D., & Tracy G. Mueller, Ph.D |
$9.95 |
Convenience is a luxury that most parents
and educators don't experience often. Strategies at Hand reintroduces
the much-valued concept of convenience to parents, teachers,
paraprofessionals, and related professionals who work with students with
autism spectrum disorders. It features easy-to-implement strategies that
can be used in all types of educational settings and situations.
This at-your-fingertips tool is broken down into five color-coded sections that are easy to locate and use: Learning Environments (classroom, field trips, etc.), Areas of Student Need (communication, behavior, etc.), Transitions (substitute teachers, school assemblies, etc.), Alphabetical Explanations of Terms (functional behavioral assessment, picture communication systems, etc.), and Resources and References. The bookmark size and unique binding of Strategies at Hand make for a format that lends itself to be stuck into a smock, apron, or pant pocket. The authors created Strategies at Hand so that tried-and-tested strategies and tips would be handy semester after semester. In support of this goal, the slim pages are coated to withstand the wear and tear of constant use. |

Strategies for Organization book & DVD |
Michelle Garcia Winner |
$59.95 |
Organizational skills are traditionally
broadly defined and broadly taught. For students with challenges in the
areas of multi-tasking or executive functioning managing homework can be
overwhelming to the point of meltdown. Through her warmth and engaging teaching style, Michelle explains different types of organizational tasks, and how to help students focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses when approaching a homework assignment. Michelle presents 10 steps for organizing and producing homework. While this DVD focuses specifically on many of the skills needed to complete a night of homework, the skills learned apply far beyond this one task. We use these same 10 steps throughout our lives to manage our jobs, chores and even planning and going on vacations. Michelle encourages us to start the process of teaching toward more abstract homework assignments in early elementary school, rather than waiting until all the hard lessons hit at once. Michelle presents user-friendly information through both her workshops and the numerous handouts she refers to throughout her talk.

Math, sea creatures, respecting

Sundays with Matthew: A Young Boy with Autism and an Artist Share Their Sketchbooks by Matthew Lancelle and Jeanette Lesada is a positive and encouraging example of a special relationship between two artists sharing a passion for art and life. Since many children and youth with autism have well-defined special interests, it is valuable to determine what those interests are and find ways to use them to reinforce appropriate behavior. Sundays with Matthew demonstrates that using a special interest and talent is a proven way to help a child reach his full potential. Jeanette’s sketchbook tips at the end of the book will inspire others to engage in similar ventures.
