Preparing Kids for the Real World and Their Best SelvesThe greatest
gifts we can give a child are those that help them grow into their
best self. Parents and professionals alike strive to guide
youngsters in developing a sense of self-worth and functioning in
line with their highest capabilities. No matter what specific
challenges a child may face, success is reaching the level of
independence and engagement in the world they are realistically
capable of achieving. Since the 1st edition of our book, the
prevalence rate of children diagnosed as autistic has continued to
rise. Greater numbers of kids are transitioning into adulthood with
a spectrum label than ever before. Researchers around the world
churn out studies, many aimed at learning more about the factors
that help autistic children learn and gain skills. Community
awareness of autism has risen, and companies and colleges are
taking notice.
International best-selling writer and autist Temple Grandin joins
psychologist Debra Moore in presenting nine strengths-based
mindsets necessary to successfully work with young people on the
autism spectrum. Examples and stories bring the approaches to life,
and detailed suggestions and checklists help readers put them to
practical use. Temple Grandin shares personal experiences and
anecdotes from the thousands of parents and professionals who have
sought her advice, while Debra Moore draws on more than three
decades of work as a psychologist with kids on the spectrum and
those who love and care for them. So many people support the lives
of these kids, and this book is for all of them: teachers; special
education staff; mental health clinicians; physical, occupational
and speech therapists; parents and anyone interacting with autistic
children or teens. Readers will come away with new, empowering
mindsets they can apply to develop the full potential of every
child.
