Title for Topics in Autism Series...
Our Topics in Autism series
offers parents and professionals an in-depth look at specific
topics to improve the lives of children with autism and their
families. The books in this series cover sibling issues, understanding
Applied Behavior Analysis and using behavior intervention techniques,
and teaching independent behavior through use of activity schedules.
Our newest titles in this series address the important issues
of communication and social skills.

programs for preschool- and kindergarten-aged children with autism,
with a focus on play, rules, empathy, and inclusion. A comprehensive
and practical book for parents and teachers to help children
with autism become better adjusted socially at school and home.
In A
Picture's Worth, the developers of PECS (Picture
Exchange Communication System) explain how non-verbal children
with autism can use pictures and other visual strategies to express
their needs and desires. A Picture's Worth promises
the opportunity for most children with autism to acquire meaningful
and effective communication skills.
