About this title

Synopsis

Overcome Stressful Moments, Gain Confidence & Generalize Skills Inside you’ll find uniquely designed activities that challenge children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and other neurodevelopmental disorders to apply learned skills in unpredictable situations that reflect real-life scenarios. Unlike most books that teach individual skills in a controlled environment, these activities ask children to implement their new skills while they’re dysregulated, frustrated or stressed—making it easier to generalize these skills in the real world. Activities to help children: Follow directions & stay on task Problem-solve Advocate for themselves Manage their emotions Think flexibly Collaborate with others Plus! Step-by-step directions Lesson plans and examples Challenges to incorporate into each activity Reflection sheets Case examples
