Detailed Description A parent-friendly book that is all about teaching important life skills to children with autism beginning in the first ten years of life. The books covers four core areas crucial to children's independence and participation in school home and community: eating, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene. The book advocates breaking skills into small steps and using individualized and systematic instruction that is based on scientifically proven methods. There are detailed, step-by-step instructions that enable you to set realistic goals, create a structured environment, motivate and track progress, as well as make adjustments along the way. Self-Help Skills incorporates verbal prompting, reinforcing through rewards, video-modeling, and visual supports in addition to providing comprehensive data sheets. We love this book for its straightforward approach to problematic issues like toileting.
