Late intervention often means that young people on the autism spectrum appear to act on impulse, seem disorganized, or fail to learn from past experiences. This work presents techniques for creating and using a personal planner to help individuals on the autism spectrum to develop independence. Book News Annotation:
Australia-based Hill and Lord (a speech language therapist
specializing in Autism and Chair of the Association for Heads and
Teachers of Adults and Children with Autism respectively) guide

describes the important visual cues and actions of the helper that
reinforce plans for the young person. Reproducible pages are included.
