Based on a decade of research conducted at the Princeton Child Development Institute, this book offers a proven teaching tool to help children with autism make effective use of unstructured time, handle changes in routine with more ease, and choose among an established set of activities independently. It can be used successfully with young children, adolescents, and adults, rewarding them with more control over their lives. An activity schedule is a set of pictures or words that cues a child to follow a sequence of activities. When activity schedules are mastered, children are more self-directed and purposeful in their home, school, and leisure activities.

Temple's professional training as an animal scientist and her history as a person with autism have given her a perspective like that of no other expert in the field. She offers unparalleled observations and groundbreaking ideas about both.
