| Popis: | An overriding goal for all children on the autism spectrum is for them to function independently in their completion of daily routine skills, such as getting dressed, eating, and using the toilet. Unfortunately, most published curricula and teaching guidelines have focused on communication and academic skills rather than on self-help skills. The book, Self-help skills for people with autism: A systematic teaching approach, by Anderson and colleagues, provides parents and professionals with a systematic method for planning and teaching these valuable skills using scientifically proven methods of applied behavior analysis (ABA). This book is reviewed in terms of the strengths and limitations of the content, as well as its importance as a practical educational tool for assisting those who train individuals with autism. |
