Summary:
"Activity Schedules for Children with Autism" offers parents and professionals a detailed overview and instructions for developing activity schedules -- a set of pictures or words that cues a child to engage in a sequence of activities. Once mastered, these simple yet revolutionary teaching tools enable children with autism to accomplish activities and expand social skills at home and in school with greatly reduced adult supervision. This book illustrates how to assess a child's readiness to use activity schedules, prepare a first photographic schedule, and progress to more varied and sophisticated schedules.
