Product Description
Convenience is a luxury that most parents and educators don't experience often. Strategies at Hand reintroduces the much-valued concept of convenience to parents, teachers, paraprofessionals, and related professionals who work with students with autism spectrum disorders. It features easy-to-implement strategies that can be used in all types of educational settings and situations. This at-your-fingertips tool is broken down into five color-coded sections that are easy to locate and use: Learning Environments (classroom, field trips, etc.), Areas of Student Need (communication, behavior, etc.), Transitions (substitute teachers, school assemblies, etc.), Alphabetical Explanations of Terms (functional behavioral assessment, picture communication systems, etc.), and Resources and References. The bookmark size and unique binding of Strategies at Hand make for a format that lends itself to be stuck into a smock, apron, or pant pocket. The authors created Strategies at Hand so that tried-and-tested strategies and tips would be handy semester after semester. In support of this goal, the slim pages are coated to withstand the wear and tear of constant use.

Great Strategies for Parents and Professionals June 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This unique book is color coded with specific tips and ideas for students on the autism spectrum in regard to transitions, field trips, general education and special education, assemblies, how to prepare ahead of time for fire drills, hints for riding the bus, how to communicate with home on a daily basis and transitions for when there is a substitute teacher or another aide.
There are visuals to help guide the professional. This is a handy reference tool for the novice as well as other professionals that work with the autism population.
At this great price it is perfect to get for teachers and paraeducators for new school year gifts while the parents can read over the summer break to get it all figured out, especially the transitions if moving onto middle school from elementary school.
I learned a lot for my son who will be riding the school bus for the first time come the fall and guidelines for assemblies and fire drills.
