Cutting-edge research reveals that parents can play a huge role in helping toddlers and preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) connect with others and live up to their potential. This encouraging guide from the developers of a groundbreaking early intervention program provides doable, practical strategies you can use every day. Nearly all young kids - including those with ASD - have an amazing capacity to learn.

Drs. Sally Rogers, Geraldine Dawson, and Laurie Vismara make it surprisingly simple to turn daily routines like breakfast or bath time into fun and rewarding learning experiences that target crucial developmental skills. Vivid examples illustrate proven techniques for promoting play, language, and engagement. Get an early start - and give your child the tools to explore and enjoy the world.

What the critics say

"Easy to read, highly informative, and packed with useful strategies, this is a wonderful resource for parents." (Fred R. Volkmar, MD, coauthor of A Practical Guide to Autism)

This book is a good resource, however, I felt that it talk to how to help younger (ages 0-2) children for the most part. I didn't find that it had a lot for me. I feel that a second volume of this sort of book should be written to more handle the challenges of a 4-6 year-old with ASD.

Feels like a book to help with babies-toddlers

Some good strategies, though some outdated terminology and beliefs around autism. Overall okay, though there are more current autism parenting books that are better.
