Turn Autism Around

This practical guide for parents of young children with autism or developmental delays outlines simple and effective practices for developing communication, social and behavioural skills. Developmental delays and signs of autism usually show up before 18 months of age. This book is for parents of young children aged one-to-five years who are passionate about helping their child as well as learning how they can return their lives to as much normalcy as possible. Mary Lynch Barbera PhD introduces a novel approach to teaching children with developmental delays. She uses the science of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) but marries it with a positive, child-friendly methodology that any parent can use - whether or not their child has delays - to learn communication skills and socialisation strategies, as well as tackle sleep, eating, toileting and behaviour challenges in a positive, effective and lasting way. This book will empower them to regain hope and take back control with simple practices they can implement themselves - even 15 minutes a day - to dramatically improve outcomes for their children.
