THE AUTISTIC CHILD’S GUIDE TO HOW TO BEHAVE
THE AUTISTIC CHILD’S GUIDE TO HOW TO BEHAVE introduces spark*, the Self-Regulation Program of Awareness and Resilience in Kids. spark* is an innovative program for teaching self-regulation of behavior, thinking and emotions to young children on the autism spectrum as well as those with other developmental disabilities such as fetal alcohol and fragile X. This book is for teachers, speech-language therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and others interested in helping children optimize their abilities. This child-centered program can be done in individual or group settings.
Based on well-researched theory and extensive clinical experience, the ground-breaking spark* program includes 69 step-by-step lessons for helping the child move from imitation of easy actions through to self-direction and self-control of behavior, thinking and emotions. spark* is comprehensive, practical and systematic, covering details from pre-assessment through lesson implementation to evaluation of progress. It provides all information and resources needed to run the program successfully. spark* includes detailed lesson focus and goals, materials needed (many are included in the appendices along with reproducible forms), how to structure and introduce the lesson and then practice the skills as well as ways to prompt and solidify learning. Collaboration with families is encouraged throughout; 18 parent newsletters are included which describe what the child is working on and how the family can help support and extend his self-regulation skills. Certificates of completion for each of the three units, declaring “I have spark*”, are provided to help the children celebrate their accomplishments.
