Anyone meeting a young child with autism for the first time will
find this fully revised edition of a classic text invaluable. The
authors provide parents and professionals with an insight into the
nature and educational implications of autism, particularly in very
young children.
In a clear and sensitive style the authors:
- outline the characteristics of autism as they present
themselves in the early years;
- consider the nature of autism and the issues surrounding
assessment and diagnosis;
- offer practical strategies for effective and realistic
intervention both at home and in a variety of early years
settings;
- suggest ways to promote learning, social development,
communication and appropriate behaviour;
- explore possibilities for enhancing access to the early years
curriculum.
This updated second edition includes new material relating to
new statutory requirements such as Every Child Matters and
Disability Equality Duty, as well as updates to different
approaches to autism, assessment and behavioural issues. The
authors outline the principal themes and objectives of the Early
Years Foundation Stage and the Inclusion Development Programme.
Autism in the Early Years: A Practical Guide (Second Edition)
provides accessible material, support and advice for parents,
teachers and professionals who are working together in an
unfamiliar area following early diagnoses of autism in young
children.
