Health & Self-Help; Coping with disability; Advice on parenting

A personal coaching programme aimed at parents of special needs children, from the author of Autism Spectrum Disorders

Parents who have just received a diagnosis for their child are often shell-shocked. Autism Life Skills offers comprehensive advice for parents and 'coaches' them on how to work through the emotions inherent to having a child who is not developing as expected. It also addresses the practical issues that must be considered when raising a child with special needs, such as safety at home and earning a living, and teaches parents how to give their children the skills they will need for a healthy, happy life.

Through empowerment strategies, Autism Life Skills offers support for parents new to autism and shows them how to- - Communicate with their child and each other - Address the issue of self-esteem - Develop social relationships for their child - Foster independence in your child

Reviews for Autism Life Skills: 10 Essential Abilities Your Child With Autism Needs to Learn

I really like this book. It's rooted in the experience of a whole range of people with autism and very practical, with lots of useful tips in boxes for easy access. The strategies apply well to adults, as well as children Cathy Mercer, The National Autistic Society Without question, Chantal's books on autistic spectrum disorders have become essential texts on the subject Douglas Kennedy Chantal has done a beautiful job of putting the voices of many people on the autism spectrum in one book Temple Grandin, PhD provides insight into many of the challenges faced by teenagers and adults on the autism spectrum Stephen M Edelson, PhD, Director, Autism Research Institute I would highly recommend this book for anyone who lives, works, or educates someone on the autism spectrum Dr Cathy Pratt, Chair, Board of Directors, Autism Society of America
