Synopsis

Go out and about with ease! Out and About: Preparing Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders to Participate in their Communities is a short, to-the-point resource that is sure be used repeatedly by parents and educators.

It focuses on everyday events and how to support individuals on the autism spectrum to be active participants in the world around them. Created as a blueprint to be filled in according the child's strengths and needs and the event being planned, the framework lists ten areas that have been identified in best practice as effective supports for children with an autism spectrum disorder.

These include a waiting plan, communication supports, social intervention, visual need, hidden curriculums, rules, sensory support, motivation, behavior supports, transitions tools, and considerations for siblings or other students. The individualized blueprint will become second nature to its users as they become more familiar with the support the child needs and, therefore, serve as an indispensable tool in everyday life.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

The purpose of this book is to provide a framework for identifying the areas where an individual with ASD may need support to participate more fully and successfully in community outings.

The framework, created as a Blueprint, lists 10 tools identified in best practice as effective types of support for children with ASD. They range in nature from broad to more specific. The Blueprint can be used with children all across the spectrum, at all age and developmental levels, and for any community outing.

Because children with ASD will interact with the community under the leadership of a variety of adults, such as family members, educators, service providers, or other community members, the Blueprint has been created so that anyone may complete it by filling in the tools with the support that best matches the child for the event. For example, the Scout leader completes it so that the child with ASD is able to join his troop on a campout, the school teacher fills in the Blueprint to enable the child to successfully attend the fourth-grade field trip, and the family refers to it to ensure a successful and fun dinner out.

The community provides a vast array of opportunities for children to participate in, including sporting events, going to a birthday party at the skating rink, or strolling through the zoo. Throughout the book, examples are grouped within categories of places and situations that children are likely to encounter. The situations included are in no way all-inclusive, but consist of a broad range of examples from the categories of recreational activities, restaurants, stores, appointments, public services, taking trips, and special events.

The hope is that the specially designed Blueprint will become second nature to its users as they become more familiar with the areas of support the child needs in various situations and routinely use the Blueprint for different outings and different children. Eventually, the Blueprint may be completed mentally, implemented across multiple settings, and even adapted for a spontaneous trip when there is not much forewarning or time to plan, such as having to quickly run an errand to the grocery store on the way home from soccer practice, adapt the school schedule to include an impromptu student recognition assembly, or make an emergency trip to the hospital.
