Abstract

Recognising, expressing and understanding emotions helps young children make sense of their life experiences. Children diagnosed with autism can have significant difficulties with recognising and processing emotions which can lead to high levels of anxiety as they struggle to make sense of the unpredictable world around them.

The 'Fun with Feelings' programme is designed to help parents support their children with emotional regulation and to decrease anxiety. This guide is structured around 10 stages. The initial four stages prepare parents to implement the programme with their child. These stages help parents understand the causes of anxiety and provide practical strategies for creating a toolbox to reduce anxiety. The final six stages are used in conjunction with Having Fun with Feelings on the Autism Spectrum: A CBT Activity Book for Kids Age 4-8, allowing parents to support their child while working through the activity book.

Written by world-leading experts in the field, 10 Steps to Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism Spectrum provides the steppingstones for parents of young children with autism to better understand their child's emotional skill set and empower them to understand and articulate their feelings.

Abstract

The Award-Winning Building Social Relationships (BSR) Book is Back and Better than Ever!

BSR-3 is a treasure trove of information and resources. The book contains over 40 instructional strategies, and the appendices alone contain over 50 pages of practical materials, including session plans and assessment tools. BSR-3 also includes a revised version of the Autism Social Skills Profile (ASSP-2), a progress monitoring instrument designed to measure social competence in youth with autism. BSR-3 also contains information on the manualized version of the BSR program and the newly developed ASSP-2 scoring guide to assist with implementation, scoring, and interpretation of the instrument

The BSR program was created to address the need for effective social skills programming. The BSR program is a systematic social skills program that addresses both social-cognitive processing and social skill performance. The BSR-3 book provides readers with a conceptual framework that will improve their understanding of social functioning in youth with autism and other social challenges. The book will teach readers how to assess and teach social skills and activate social-cognitive processing in both children and adolescents.

Many parents are tremendously concerned about their child's social functioning and their future quality of life. They see their children struggling to build and maintain social relationships and experiencing peer failure, rejection, and relentless bullying on a regular basis. Most importantly, they see their children dealing with intense social anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Unfortunately, social skill interventions are often designed merely as a reaction to problem behaviors. This often results in parents and practitioners "chasing" problem behaviors while failing to systematically teach social skills. Now, more than ever, our field and, more importantly, our children are in desperate need of effective social skills programing. BSR-3 will guide readers on the path to better social skills programming and improved social outcomes for youth with autism and other social challenges.

Abstract

One morning, at dawn, the Curiosities choose Miro to nest on. At first, he doesn't notice. They blend in, perching on his shoulder and nuzzling into his hair. Over time, Miro discovers that he sees and feels things differently than everyone else around him. The Curiosities show Miro an extraordinary world. He weaves clouds to make stories for the wind, and marvels at the wonders waiting in the shadows where no one else looks. Sometimes, though, the Curiosities make Miro feel lost and alone: they shriek and roar, and are so bright and overwhelming that he feels invisible. But perhaps Miro isn't as alone as he thinks... and maybe the Curiosities have chosen other people as well.
