Author Katie Cook, MED, BCBA, has a decade of experience and is passionate about teaching children with autism and providing parent training. Thriving with Autism: 90 Activities to Encourage Your Child’s Communication, Engagement, and Play has two parts.
Part one describes an empowering approach to teaching children with autism. Here she explains Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and how to get the most from therapy.
Part two jumps into a variety of activities to teach essential skills. There are nine chapters in this section, and in each chapter, you’ll find 10 activities based on the science of ABA to help your child grow in skill areas such as communication, play, socialization, independence, and more. The target age is 1-11 years old. Each activity starts with the age it’s best for, followed by the items you will need for the activity. Detailed instructions on how to perform the activity are given and then an explanation for why it works. Softcover, 164 pgs. ~Amber
