Product Description
`This is an entertaining, informative and very practical book that will assist readers to `walk the talk' through a more positive paradigm for enabling children with autism. It is based on careful and systematic thinking by the author and incorporates methodology based on research and best practice experience.'
- Carmen Hengeveld, M.Sc., Registered Speech-Language Pathologist
`Dr. Heather MacKenzie has used a unique blend of theories of personality type, multiple intelligences and mediated learning to create an elegant and practical method. I have seen how well the application of the Learning Preferences and Strengths model works for children with autism. It is my firm belief that this method has broad applicability for any learner.'
- Teeya Scholten, Ph.D., Registered Psychologist
`This is a practical, inspiring and stimulating book.'
- Allison Waks, M.A., Registered Psychologist
Reaching and Teaching Children with Autism provides a positive approach to understanding and educating children on the autism spectrum. The book gives greater insight into the perspective and behavior of a child with autism and explores how the child's learning preferences, strengths and interests can be used to facilitate learning and enhance motivation.
Based on well-researched theory and extensive clinical experience, the author provides a comprehensive model for developing lifelong independent learning skills in children with autism between the ages of 3 and 12 years old. The book describes the underlying principles, learning preferences and strengths typical of children with autism and offers a detailed but flexible program structure based on these concepts. Easy to follow activities and approaches are described in each chapter, along with clear examples and illustrations.
This accessible and practical book is an essential resource for parents, teachers, support workers, therapists and others concerned with learning and development in children with autism.

Good book for new ideas to look at autism July 29, 2008
This book is a good book about how we (as practitioners) need to look at autism in different way. The book is about teaching us to see the strengths in autism before the weaknesses. The beginning of the book is so informative about how to look at the types of learning models and the multiple intelligence theory. Then the book continues in explaining how teachers can work with children with autism by knowing, first, their strengths and,then, building the program that fits the child abilities.
It is a good book with plenty of practical examples.
Thanks Amazon for helping me buy this book.
