One of the major difficulties for children with autism is in developing social empathy in the same way as other children. The earlier this problem is addressed, the more effectively these skills can be improved. This book champions initial intervention with children at an early stage of communication but the many practical ideas and strategies can also be usefully applied to children of school age if they are at an early stage of communication. "First Steps in Intervention With Your Child With Autism" is perfect for parents looking to understand their child better and, in turn, help improve their child's development and communication. This will also be a useful reference for all professionals working to support families with a child on the autism spectrum.
