The best strategies always come from practitioners. This is no expection. The strategy is brilliant in its simplicity and flexibility. -- Brenda Smith Myles, Ph.D., internationally known speaker and writer on autism spectrum disorders
This strategy is the kind of resource parents and professionals will find themselves going to again and again. -- Linda Murdock, University of Montevallo, co-author of "Joining In! A Program for Teaching Social Skills"
Product Description
Children with ASD are often confused by our world of rules and consequences, including how their behavior impacts another person or situation. The result is often aggressive behavior. The Way to A, designed for children ages 3 to 9 years old, presents a simple, logical, and systematic strategy that clarifies and sequentially teaches the child how to manage his behavior by engaging in forethought and self-analysis before acting out. What sets this strategy apart is that it then goes on to give the child a personal and concrete incentive to use the alternative behavior. Developed with visual learners in mind, the book offers the ultimate in customization – the laminated pages may be written on and wiped clean as new situations come up. The illustrations are delightful and use the concrete nature of red and green, "A" and "B," to illustrate correct and incorrect pathways. In addition, thinking bubbles, arrows, and boxes help make the book easy to follow and understand. The flowchart at the end of the book can be used as an assessment tool for the student to review his behavioral situations – another visual and effective way to illustrate positive choices the child has made and celebrate the successful moments.
