This book examines the concerns around inappropriate social behaviour that those living and working with children and adults face on a day-to-day basis. It discusses preventative measures and intervention strategies, and uses real-life case studies to illustrate these.
Issues covered include:
" an overview of what difficulties might be encountered at different stages in life
" strategies that can be used to alleviate the problems
" how to recognize triggers and create stress-free environments
" hints and tips for those living and working with individuals with ASDs.
