Autism intervention every day! is 144 pages of interventions for very young children (birth to three) who may be exhibiting early signs of having an autism spectrum disorder. Written by an occupational therapist and a speech-language pathologist, both of whom are board certified behavior analysts, this book offers early intervention providers a host of interventions that can be done within everyday activities such as dressing and diapering, during meals and play time, and more. It is meant to teach providers how to coach parents in helping their children develop critical skills and manage their behavior.
The book starts with an overview of autism and the way in which young children are diagnosed along with a discussion of what might constitute a "red flag" as a potential characteristic of autism. Information on connecting families with services is covered along with specific teaching strategies and why they work for children on the spectrum. Critical skills along with research findings are presented along with suggestions for monitoring progress. The book also includes a Reinforcer Survey that is able to be photocopied but also is downloadable, depending on your preference.
