Practical ASD suggestions March 2, 2008
Kaeli Vandertulip (Irving, TX USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book has some wonderful suggestions for teachers and parents of children on all levels of the autism spectrum. Rather than focusing on high- or low-functioning children, all levels are considered. All kids on the spectrum are accounted for-not just autism. Parents of children with PDD-NOS and Asperger Syndrome can find good tips, too.
Some ideas seem obvious and sound like they'd be great for any child, other ideas aren't so obvious. But almost every idea is simple and can be quickly integrated into raising a child. One suggestion is to make an edible play dough (for which she gives two recipes), for the kid who can't stop putting things in their mouths.
For our family, the best suggestion was one that, like many others, I read and thought "How did I not think of this earlier?" They suggest telling the child how much water they are going to pour on his head at bathtime. I started doing this with my son. Immediatly, the fits stopped. He still hates it, but we don't have to end bathtime and give him 10 minutes to calm down afterwords now. Another good one-demonstrate everything you're going to do to a child beforehand. This worked for us when it was haircut time. It no longer sounds like we're torturing our son once a month!
This is a very valuable book to add to a parent or teacher's toolbox.
Great resource...especially for parents of young autistic February 16, 2008

This book is a great resource for parents of newly diagnosed kids with autism. I am a therapist working with families with autistic children and recommend this book. Many parents "don't know where to start" and this book gives great basic ideas in activities that these kids would enjoy. It gives brief and concrete rationales. If you are looking for in-depth info on autism, you will not find it here. However it gives great practical suggestions for play activities and daily struggles such as potty-training, hair combing battles, behavior problems etc.
Addressing the Sensory is SO important February 8, 2008

This book gave me great ideas of what to do with my 3 year old daughter at home as well as reassured me her teacher and therapist are all on the same page as to what to do with her. I have seen PHENOMENAL success with my daughter by addressing her sensory issues. If your child has autism or PDD PLEASE get him or her into OT so you can learn how to address these needs at home.
Easy Read on a Complex Issue January 8, 2008

I am a teacher as well as the aunt of a delightful autistic four year old, Eli. The book is one I wish I could place in the hands of every parent and teacher working with autistic kids. It is a practical and easy to use guide covering many aspects of dealing with a child on the spectrum. It is equally useful to those new to the world of autism and those well read and taught on the topic.1001 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Such a great resource January 7, 2008

1001 you gotta be kiding me I thought that before I borrowed the book from a professional.
It did not take me long to sign on to the computer and purchase the book I love the realistic ideas the things that you have in your home or class everyday and the unique ways to use them.
I recommend this book not only for Autistic children but for any one with a child it is crammed full of wonderful down to earth ideas.
