About this book In 'The Essential 5' you will find HOW to raise and guide a child with autism. It is written with a view to parents and carers. A child with autism needs clarity and predictability. They are reaching out for help and the parent/carer needs to take his hand and show them WHAT they have to do, HOW they have to do it, WHERE it takes place, WHEN it needs to be done and WHO is involved. These are the 5 keywords of The Essential 5 method. You familiarize yourself with this method while reading and this way the consequences of the disorder are explained. This is what the author calls 'putting on your auti-specs'. By wearing these 'auti-specs' you realise HOW your child's mind works. The author hopes that this guide will contribute to the raising and guiding of children with autism. By instigating the many practical tips this book suggests, children with autism will be able to develop more and become more independent. About the author "I am a visual thinker, so I am seeing what I am thinking. It was a hell of a job to put into words everything that comes so natural to me at work. I am fully aware of the restraints involved in a translation from everyday practice into words." Colette de Bruin-Wanrooy works as a trainer and SEN coordinator in families with children with autism and/or an intellectual impairment. She is the mother of five autistic foster children and was raised by - among others - a father with Asperger disorder. Readers are drawn into this book by the author's practical way of working, which can of course be translated to their own situations.
