Imagine a world where your autistic child is included, engaged and cherished for how they are; a world which changes for autistic children, rather than changing the child.
What Works for Autistic Children brings the conversation about inclusivity into the forefront and turns it on its head. Instead of modifying the autistic child and making exceptions or special circumstances, Luke shows you, the parent, how the world can, should and must change to accommodate your child.
He identifies the aspects that impact on your child’s life most – the family, their school, their friends, their environment – and outlines the steps that can and should be taken by everyone involved to improve their outcome and create an autism-friendly landscape.
From early communication, through pre-school, primary school, secondary school – on holidays, school trips and with friends – your child should not have to struggle to exist within the parameters of a world they don’t understand.
What Works for Autistic Children will give you the dialogue, tools and starting points to involve every professional and family member as advocates for a world where your child flourishes.
