Why do I have to go to school before the show that I am watching is
over? Why do I have to wear shoes and a jacket when I go outside?
Rules like these can be really frustrating - but they don't have to
be! Why do I have to? looks at a set of everyday situations that
provide challenges for children at home, with their friends, and at
school. Laurie Leventhal-Belfer empathizes with children's wish to
do things their way, explains clearly why their way does not work,
and provides a list of practical suggestions for how to cope with
these challenges and avoid feelings of frustration. This is the
ideal book for children who have difficulty coping with the
expectations of daily living, as well as for their parents and the
professionals who work with them.
Providing expert yet accessible guidance to parents of young
autistic people who are going to college, this book helps parents
support their child from application through to graduation.
Covering social issues, independent living, academic challenges,
student services and emotional wellbeing, this is the one-stop shop
for advice on the transition from school to college or university.
The book examines the skills that students need to live and
function at college, and the skills parents need to let their teens
navigate college without a parent as intermediary. It offers ways
to combat common problems that affect the mental health of people
on the spectrum, such as keeping up with homework, fast-paced
classes, and complex social expectations. This book is for any
parent considering college as an option for their child, disability
service providers in colleges and for autistic students themselves.
'Asperger's Syndrome in Young Children is easy to read, with lots
of practical ideas and advice, presented in a sympathetic manner.
It would be most useful for teachers or professionals who are new
to the field or parents who believe their child may be on the
Asperger's syndrome spectrum. It is a valuable source of
information on strategies for helping young children with
Asperger's syndrome to realise their full potential.' - ChildrenNow
This landmark book focuses on how AS presents in pre-school
children. An essential guide for parents coming to terms with their
child's AS diagnosis and for the professionals who work with this
age group, it is unique in answering pressing questions specific to
younger children. How can parents help their AS child to develop
speech and language? What help is available at school and home?
When, if at all, should a child be informed about AS? Including a
useful summary of early childhood development stages,
Leventhal-Belfer and Coe provide a diagnostic model based on
assessment of the child in contrast to 'neurotypical' children,
considering relationships at home, in school or in care. Their book
shows how to develop tailored early intervention strategies and to
assist parents, teachers and mental health professionals in making
informed decisions to nurture the development of AS children.
