It is now established that difficulties in understanding other people s minds underlie many of the social and communication problems that are characteristic of autism. This book offers practical teaching materials for the practitioner in the field, exploring the relationship of theory of mind deficits to social and communication problems in children with autism. Based on their successful experimental work, the authors provide a detailed intervention programme, with accessible teaching materials to help autistic children improve their understanding of beliefs, emotion and pretence. The improved and expanded second edition now incorporates two books; a practitioner s guide that covers the up to date theory and background to the approach, and a print and electronic workbook (0470093242) that can be used with children, or by young people and adults, as a learning tool.
