Choosing Effective Support for People on the Autism Spectrum (eBook, ePUB)

A Guide Based on Academic Perspectives and Lived Experience

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is essential for anyone interested in learning about the therapeutic potential of orthodox and state-of-the-art supports for autistics. Using research evidence, supports are rated using a Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Tin category system. 'Gold' is extremely promising and use with confidence, whereas 'Tin' is extremely unsafe and potentially life threatening. This book, however, is more complex than just presenting literature reviews about supports for autistics and then rating the efficacy of the support. In addition to this, the insights and experiences of autistics about the autism supports examined are presented. Such testimonials provide an insider perspective from those who ultimately stand to benefit or suffer after receiving a support - namely autistics themselves.
