Description: This is a comprehensive assessment and intervention guide that presents research-based methods and strategies to develop social and communication skills in children with autism. The Assessment of Social and Communication Skills for Children with Autism contains a set of questionnaires and checklists that allows users to obtain a detailed profile of a child's abilities in more than 100 subskill areas and target specific skills for intervention. Each subskill has a corresponding activity sheet, which outlines intervention activities to enhance social reciprocity, imitation, solitary play, social play, group skills and social communication. Both the assessment and curriculum can be easily tailored to fit the needs both of children who are verbal and those who use an augmentative or alternative communication. This wonderful resource enables you to build an individualized social and communication skills curriculum for a student, and then implement it at home or at school, through the hundreds of included activities. There are also easy-to-use data collection forms to chart progress, as well as an extensive list of resources. Soft Cover, 448 pages, by Kathleen Ann Quill, EdD
