Each child on the autism spectrum has a unique set of special needs. That's why their parents deserve a smart, caring advocate to help zero in on proven interventions that are right for their child. Bestselling author Bryna Siegel, one of the world's leading authorities on autism, deftly guides parents through the complex maze of treatment options. She shows how to obtain an accurate assessment of a child's strengths and weaknesses, and then provides step-by-step guidance to help parents develop a plan of action tailored to their child's individual learning style, verbal abilities, and social skills. Like no other book on the market, Getting the Best for Your Child with Autism will help parents maximize all of the resources available to help their kids reach their full potential.
Book News Annotation:
Rather than advocating any particular approach to diagnosing and
treating children with autism, Siegel (Autism Clinic/Autism and
Neurodevelopment Research Center, University of California, San Francisco)
helps parents become informed consumers in matching their child's and
family's needs and strengths with services. She explains treatment
strategies, schools' required individualized education plan (IEP),
and IEP legal rights, and provides helpful summary tables and
resources.
