This book describes an intervention model for children with Autism, targeting to act as a guide for parents with children with special needs. As parents play an important role in their child's lives, it is crucial that they are guided and trained to work with and interact with their child. The framework for intervention in this book is named Comprehensive Model for Early Intervention (CMEI), which is an amalgamation of various evidence-based interventions for children with Autism. In this book, four stages of intervention are described in detail, each targeting different stages of development of the child. The four stages of intervention are home-based ABA therapy, small group intervention, school shadow support, and social skills intervention.

Your child may find it difficult to adapt to new surroundings and learning environments from time to time. School Shadow Guidelines will assist your child in developing appropriate behaviors in school, establish an environment that helps to strengthen academic ability, and also help your child to build up on his/her social interaction skills with the goal of independence. Special needs children can benefit from having inclusive education to aid in their development and growth; this is where school shadowing serves vital roles.
