Communicating Partners (CP), the result of over thirty years of clinical practice, research and professional teaching, is an innovative approach to encouraging cognitive and social development and interaction in children with autism. In this resource book for parents, carers and professionals, James MacDonald presents a set of practical, daily exercises and activities, that focus on the relationship between the child and the non-autistic adult. The resource includes guidelines for assessing and planning development goals using The Adult-Child Relationship Map (ARM), establishing a social play habit, developing a home-based routines program - including conversation routines - and setting up a daily activity diary. Adults and children with autism will find this profoundly interactive book an essential tool in their development of more effective communication and social skills.
