Practical Mathematics for Children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder and Other Developmental Delays : (LSS)

Jo Adkins and Sue Larkey

It is a common misconception that children on the autism spectrum find mathematics easy. In fact the opposite is true for some, and exposure to basic mathematics in the early years can be crucial in establishing the foundations for understanding later in life. This book provides practical strategies and tools for teaching key mathematics concepts to children with an autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays. The authors emphasize the importance of incorporating a child's special interest into learning in order to help them engage fully with new concepts. Topics covered include colours, shapes, categories, numerals, sequencing, addition and subtraction, and using money. The book includes worksheets and activities or incorporating mathematics into daily living skills.

Sense and Nonsense in the Behavioral Treatment of Autism : It Has to be Said (LSS)

Autism Partnership

This book contains some basic facts about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and then they give a detailed recounting of the seminal studies by Ivar Lovaas. This research on the treatment of autism grew out of earlier work on learning theory and ultimately led to the impressive array of ABA teaching methods that are currently available. The authors also describe and challenge a number of misconceptions that some parents and professionals hold about ABA. These misconceptions include notions such as ABA teaching methods make children into robots, and that ABA teaching is done in a sterile, isolated setting and not within the natural environment. This is a smart book that encourages the reader to do some careful thinking about what is in the best interests of a child with an autism spectrum disorder.
