3rd Edition
by Marga Hogenboom (Author), Bob Woodward (Author)
Educating and caring for a child
with autism is a severely difficult task, too often associated with
frustration and disappointment. As a result, the inner development of
these children is at times considered to be beyond the reach of parents
and caregivers.
This book challenges that assumption, exploring
case studies where therapy based on a holistic approach has resulted in
marked improvements in the children's behavior and social integration.
With an extended holistic program, autistic children discover inner
self-awareness and self-recognition, leading to first steps in
relationships and social skills.
The authors describe in detail
their own practical experiences, as well as the findings of other
experts in the field. This new third edition covers recent developments
in diagnostic methods and approaches to treatment, including new case
studies and a new chapter looking at the sensory aspect of autism and
Sensory Integration Therapy.
Well-researched and movingly
written, this book has an essential, positive message for all those
involved in the care and education of children with autism.
