About this title

Synopsis

"Beyond Words: The Successful Inclusion of a Child with Autism" is a frank and fascinating look at what it takes to integrate one virtually non-verbal child with autism into the hustle-bustle world of a classroom of typically developing peers. Co-authored by the parent of a child with autism and the kindergarten teacher who transformed him during his first exciting year in regular school, the book is as helpful as a how-to manual, as absorbing as a mystery and as touching as a love story. Interspersed throughout are quotes from other children in the class, their parents, school staff and professionals. These intensely felt and honest statements serve to enlighten, entertain, and create a sense of "being there" that makes for an unforgettable read. There are helpful suggestions and commentary by Dr. William Allen, a child psychologist and expert on autism, after each chapter. The book also offers a valuable appendix of forms and tools to help facilitate inclusion, plus a handy list of resources. Soft cover. 171 pages with photos and illustrations.
