Audra K. Jensen' son began reading when he was only two years old.
She shares her experiences -- both the challenges and joys - of
raising a child with autism and hyperlexia - an early and obsessive
interest in the written word associated with social deficits and
significant difficulty in understanding verbal language. The author
stresses the importance of diagnosis of the condition for
successful implementation of effective teaching strategies and
encouragement of more typical childhood development. As well as
useful advice, this guide provides a comprehensive reading
curriculum specially designed for young, challenged children to
help promote their reading ability. When Babies Read also offers
practical suggestions on how to modify teaching and therapy
programmes to suit a child's individual learning style, how to
create and use social stories with the hyperlexic child, and how to
obtain an appropriate education for the hyperlexic child. A chapter
dedicated to the older child with hyperlexia includes strategies
for dealing with entrenched behaviours and attitudes. This
practical guide will prove invaluable for parents of children with
autism and hyperlexia.
