Publisher's Synopsis
If you're a parent of a child who has been diagnosed with autism, you have no doubt encountered many challenges. You may experience a wide range of emotions when trying to learn how best to help your child including confusion, fear and uncertainty. Children with autism are unique individuals who learn and develop skills in a different way than their peers, however children who receive ongoing intervention can see significant improvement in their ability to achieve their goals and reach their potential.In the Understanding Your Child with Autism series we help you see the world through your child's eyes. You don't need to fix your child. Rather, you can learn to understand him and the motivation that underlies challenging behaviors. With this knowledge you can begin to teach him a more contextually appropriate way to get what he wants.The 6 Step Behavior Change Process offers a proven, step-by-step method of understanding your child's behavior and helping him succeed by reducing contextually inappropriate behaviors and increasing contextually appropriate ones. This book will allow parents unfamiliar with the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to quickly identify ways they can help their child reach their full potential.Whether your child is already receiving professional services or you're looking to help a child who doesn't need that level of intervention, the process described in this book will help you all be happier at home. Look for the 6 Step Behavior Change Process Companion Journal for even more help!
