"Autism 24/7: A Family Guide to Learning at Home and in the Community" 		   
Summary Statement:

New book offers solutions for parents

If your son or daughter with autism is over-stimulated by noisy places or has trouble communicating or interacting with people, then everyday activities like going to the playground or helping out with household chores may seem beyond your child’s repertoire. Authors Andy Bondy and Lori Frost, founders of the award-winning Pyramid Approach to educating children with autism, show how it is possible to keep family life running smoothly and teach family activities at home and in the neighborhood.

In a reassuring, easy-to-read style, Autism 24/7 encourages parents to pinpoint times when their child’s behavior or lack of skills interferes with family functioning. This helps set goals for what to teach and how to teach. Once goals are set, parents can learn about:

* Using Motivational Strategies and Powerful Reinforcements
* Teaching Functional Communication Skills
* Creating Opportunities for Learning
* Teaching Techniques (prompts, shaping and video modeling)
* Managing Challenging Behavior
* Evaluating Progress

Even the busiest families can use these straightforward teaching methods with their child to encourage independence and cooperation, improve behavior, and reinforce classroom learning.

Available from Woodbine House and Amazon.com.
