Published by Bild at £7.00

Supporting a child with autism can be rewarding and interesting. It can also be frustrating at times, especially if you can't understand why the child is behaving in a particular way.

This updated booklet provides a practical introduction to autism for teachers and support workers, with plenty of examples of the sorts of behaviour that a child with autism may show in the classroom.

This is followed by a practical guide to developing simple yet effective strategies for working with a child with autism, and finishes with a question and answer session on some of the trickier situations you may encounter.
