This book teaches drama and immersive theatre-based activities for
parents and professionals working with children and young people on
the autism spectrum. The exercises follow the author's simple,
person-centred '3C pathway' of connecting, calming and
communicating, and enable parents to gain an understanding of the
challenges an autistic child may face by 'walking in their shoes',
while empowering children to become more self-aware and express
themselves in healthy ways. The activities included in the book are
tried-and-tested, accessible and easy to implement, such as
breathing exercises, mirroring movements, and treasure hunts. Using
these activities, parents and professionals can gain insight into
the sensory and social challenges experienced by those on the
spectrum and can work to build a positive and trusting
relationship, offering a secure base for children's emotional
development.

Searching for the right school for a child with an autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) opens up a huge and complicated world, and it can be
difficult to know where to begin. What should you look out for in a
school? What questions should you ask? How do you choose between
different educational approaches and programmes? This accessible
guide cuts through all of the jargon surrounding special
educational needs (SEN) and walks parents and professionals through
the entire journey of securing appropriate educational provision
for a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The author
explains the implications of having, or not having, a diagnosis;
how to obtain a Statement of SEN; how to find and secure an
appropriate school; and how to work effectively with outside
agencies. She provides clear explanations of all of the legal
aspects of the process, including SEN law, the SEN Code of Practice
and the new guidelines for SEND tribunals. Recognising that
mainstream schooling is not the best option in every case, she also
shows that independent schools and home-schooling can be viable
options in some cases. A multitude of useful resources, websites
and other sources of further information are also included. Whether
you are the parent or carer of a child with ASD, or a professional
working with children with autism, the ideas and information in
this book will steer you through the complex maze of issues
surrounding how to secure appropriate education provision for
children with ASD.
