Winner of a 2006 Teachers’ Choice Award! This book will quickly become your “go-to” resource. It’s chock-full of try-it-now strategies that have worked for thousands of children struggling with communication, sensory, social, and self-care skills and behavior issues. You’ll chuckle at some of the book’s off-kilter advice. For example, you can develop nonverbal signals that you and your child can use in public as a sort of secret language. That way you can let the child know when he is committing a social faux pas without embarrassing him. To familiarize a child with places out side of the home (e.g., school, grocery store, doctor's office, etc.), take a picture of him in those environments and put the photos into a scrapbook. Creating positive associations with those places may reduce anxiety the next time he visits them. Or, to teach social skills and theory of mind skills, play a movie on “mute” and ask your child what’s going on. Reading social situations is an ability he’ll need throughout his life. You will wear this book out!
