The Autism Activities Handbook: Activities to Help Kids Communicate, Make Friends, and Learn Life Skills (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Autism Books)

I am a father of a child that has autism. While it's not easy at times, we always learn new things and know how to enjoy life. I also constantly look for literature and lessons of different kind that would help us. This book did a tremendous job in helping my child. I would definitely recommend to anyone with similar problems.

After having a grandchild diagnosed as on the autism spectrum I began researching and stumbled across the author's podcast. I started hearing her discuss this book but I was too late to get into the kickstarter campaign. I was looking into purchasing the book when the author sent out the opportunity to receive and review the book. I jumped at the opportunity and received my copy of the book and immediately read it cover to cover and started working through it with my grandchild. All of the activities are simply but thoroughly explained and you can tell immediately which might be just right for your situation. Just like with autism, not every activity will apply to every child but I am very pleased with what does apply to our situation. I've already ordered another copy to share with some other family members and will order more I'm sure. This is an excellent book not only for autism but for any condition that makes interaction with a child more difficult than "normal". I would recommend it for everyone.

This book is for people with little to moderate experience planning activities for children on the autism spectrum. I didn't find much for my older students who are higher functioning.

Definitely a Lotta good ideas in here and you can also get creative to make them more challenging or whatever depending on how functional or low functioning they are

Basic info

As a Registered Behavior Technician I found this book to be a wonderful resource. I was able to pull activities and ideas from this book.

Lots of fun activities for children with autism! I would recommend this book for parents or educators looking for different ideas.

Numerous activities to engage in with children with autism. Wish it was available in hard copy.

What a wonderful book it is. Giving clear instructions how to train them step by step. Hope it will help my autistic daughter and many like her. Will review again after few months. Thank you.

Enjoyed this book great tips and activities for the children easy to follow. Fun to do.

Il libro contiene qualche spunto utile ma in linea di massima posso dire che è un volume che non è né innovativo ne particolarmente interessante. Forse per chi è alle prime armi può sembrare utile ma di fatto non credo lo sia, anzi, talvolta penso possa portare anche fuori strada.

This book has some excellent ideas which can be easily modified to suit your child's preferences. Keeping a child engaged and excited about social games can be a challenge, as such, new ideas can go a long way in helping build strong social bonds and other core skills.

The book seems to describe many simple activity which aren't fussy,easy to carry out n quite helpful...it would have been better if it had more illustrations ..nevertheless it's a great ideas book which can help parents,teachers n therapists working with children with ASD .
