Intervention and support for parents and carers of children and young people on the autism spectrum : a resource for trainers

Wright, Barry (John Barry Debenham) (Author). Williams, Chris, 1955- (Added Author).

Summary: The needs of parents and carers of children on the autism spectrum are not met by conventional parenting strategies. This resource for trainers and facilitators offers the best available knowledge and theories to help them develop an understanding of how their child perceives the world and ultimately improve their family life. The manual is divided into ten sessions that introduce a topic related to autism and Asperger Syndrome, for example, 'mindblindness' and the social world, and strategies to manage individual behaviour.
