Fully illustrated with inspiring examples, "Everyday Education" provides a wealth of ideas for creating visual support aids for children on the autism spectrum. Photographs and clear, practical explanations describe how these tools can be arranged helpfully around the home for the child to use. The authors describe how visual support aids can be used in all kinds of everyday situations, from labelling - for example, sticking a picture of a dinner plate with a knife and fork to the chair in which the child sits at meal times - to putting together a pictorial activities schedule for the child to refer to. This fun and encouraging book will be a valuable source of ideas for parents of children with autism and professionals working with them. | | | |

 Databases & adaptive devices for children with developmental delays Jul 30, 2008
By first words...God's breath
Originally published in the United Kingdom, and now,Philadelphia, this resource presents various kinds of home made adaptive devices for special needs children. Contained within are photos of home made charts, devices, flash cards, and learning aids that can be used to assist the differently abled child to learn many of the necessary skills to develop, communicate, prepare for life, and socially interact, despite his or her special needs.
There are two specific databases of downloadable graphics of
thousands of images, with suggestions for incorporating your own digital images, as well as creating learning devices to support your child's needs. These are : 1) Boardmaker (www.mayer-johnson.com), and 2) ISPEEK
(www.jkp.com). Consult these websites to get the descriptions, the
specifications for your computer, and the costs for each.
Check this book/resource out in your local library to see its value; then, get busy creating these learning materials for the child you are assisting. It's well worth the look.
 Helpful example of how to implement these ideas at home Nov 10, 2008
By Seminal Murphys
In response to the last reviewer, I don't believe there is a "snap-shot" of an autistic kid!! I thought you were just being rude to the little girl.
I found this book to be immensely helpful because there were a lot of pictures showing how they implemented the girl's therapy in her own, real home. I have been frustrated when trying to do the same because most materials refer to the classroom, which is, of course, a very different setting than the home. I highly recommend purchasing this book or borrowing it from your local library.

 Repulsive & Offensive Cover Picture of Autistic Girl Apr 04, 2008
By Christian C.
First, let me just say that I will NOT purchase this book-I don't care how great the content is. My issue is with how the little autistic girl on the cover is portrayed. She looks like a crazed-witch. I have a child with autism, so I know what it is like, and this book cover photo is NOT what autism is in a snap-shot. This book cover photo scared me. My very first and only thought was "what does a book about a crazed-looking-girl-witch have to do with autism?" Authors and Publishers: is this the message you want sent to people? The message this picture sent to me (and I know better) was that autism is scarey, autistic people are scarey, and is that crazy autistic person going to hurt me? Is this what you want peoples first reactions to be when they consider your book? This picture is horrifying and offensive. They say a picture can paint a thousand words. Well, this one surely does. I'm repulsed that the authors felt this was an appropriate picture. End result: more negative ideas and opinions about autism floating through the world and more isolated autistics. Rethink how you approach autism, please. And God Bless that little girl on the cover of the book.
