"Easy to read, highly informative, and packed with useful strategies, this is a wonderful resource for parents."--Fred R. Volkmar, MD, coauthor of A Practical Guide to Autism"A remarkable achievement. Drs. Rogers, Dawson, and Vismara have succeeded in translating the latest and best scientific evidence into practical suggestions for improving your child's social and communication skills. They write with clarity, insight, and even humor. This is a book you will prize highly."--Peter Szatmari, MD, author of A Mind Apart: Understanding Children with Autism and Asperger Syndrome"I was so overwhelmed when my child was diagnosed. This book is the road map I needed, written by experts I trust."--Laura Shumaker, author, San Francisco Chronicle autism blog"Parents are going to love this book! It translates the important work of the Early Start Denver Model into strategies that can be implemented at home. The book shows how parents everywhere can give their children with autism spectrum disorders the support they need to learn to communicate and play."--Ilene Schwartz, PhD, Director, Haring Center for Applied Research and Training in Education, University of Washington, and coauthor of Building Blocks for Teaching Preschoolers with Special NeedsSally J. Rogers, PhD, is Professor of Psychiatry at the MIND Institute at the University of California, Davis. She is a pioneering autism researcher known for her work on early intervention for preschoolers, imitation deficits, family interventions, and autism in infancy. With Geraldine Dawson and colleagues, Dr. Rogers developed the Early Start Denver Model, the treatment approach that is the basis for this book.
Cutting-edge research reveals that parents can play a huge role in helping toddlers and preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) connect with others and live up to their potential. This encouraging guide from the developers of a groundbreaking early intervention program provides doable, practical strategies you can use every day. Nearly all young kids—including those with ASD—have an amazing capacity to learn. Drs. Sally Rogers, Geraldine Dawson, and Laurie Vismara make it surprisingly simple to turn daily routines like breakfast or bath time into fun and rewarding learning experiences that target crucial developmental skills. Vivid examples illustrate proven techniques for promoting play, language, and engagement. Get an early start—and give your child the tools to explore and enjoy the world.

makes a big, scary production out of everything As an autistic adult, I'd much prefer that people read The Intuitive Parent: Why the Best Thing for Your Child Is You. I'm doing "better than expected" for someone with autism. I made it to my 30s without having a diagnosis. I think I turned out OK because my childhood did NOT resemble ABA whatsoever. However, I grew up in a family where my mom didn't work, so she read to me A LOT when I was young. All kinds of lessons on how to not make a scene in public in The Berenstain Bears. I was allowed to line up cars around the dining room table to my heart's content, as long as it wasn't dinnertime.This book is written by an autism researcher, who perhaps lacks the empathy to see how scary sentences like this will be for people who don't have PhDs and aren't used to being in charge:"The intervention program should be designed and overseen by a trained, professional, interdisciplinary team."I think this book would increase parental anxiety beyond all reason, and that's terrible for children.Talk to your child like a normal person, especially about feelings and what other people are thinking and feeling. Be a good example in your daily life (this can't be faked). I think parents might be better served by doing therapy THEMSELVES before making their kids do anything. Realistically, your average person believes all kinds of damaging myths about autism, which will negatively impact their parenting. I KNOW this is true, because I thought I coudn't be autistic that whole time because I'm an empathetic and emotionally sensitive person. Later I learned that "intense world theory" is probably more true than whatever you've heard.I like being autistic. It would be IMPOSSIBLE to develop a healthy self-concept from reading what "experts" say about autism. It's all so condescending and pejorative.If you're interested in this book, please understand that non-autistic people are EQUALLY IMPAIRED at understanding the nonverbal communication of autistic people. I can't tell you how many videos I've seen on YouTube where a parent is talking like their kid isn't even there, and I can see all the distress in their rocking and other stims. Really, everyone can either generalize from themselves or use logic to reason about people different from themselves. Non-autistic people often don't have to develop the latter ability very much, because they're surrounded by people similar to themselves. This is a blind spot of non-autistic people.Also note that self-injury and poor theory-of-mind are ALSO something that happens because of childhood trauma. Borderline personality disorder comes from "a sensitive child in an invalidating environment," which might as well be the definition of autism. We're not going to receive normal parental mirroring of our emotions unless our parents are also autistic. We can totally pick up on all the things you think we don't know about how burdensome and awful you think autism is and how we're some kind of curse put there by God to test you. If you think those things, that's traumatizing. I'm very skeptical that autism necessarily requires all these "problem behaviors."I noticed that this book mentioned every kind of intervention and specialist, but not psychotherapy for the child. I can say that it sucks being treated like an Untouchable and I've needed years of therapy.Just play with your child, pay attention to them, and treat them like a human instead of a dog you're training. It will be OK.Invaluable resource in a sea of information I was just saying, why isn't there a handbook that comes with a diagnosis? This is about as close as it gets. But my GOSH it chaps my ass when authors of parenting books always assume the parents are married. An entire section on taking care of your spouse and nill on handling the news with your ex-spouse, ex-S.O. or co-parent - 32% of families do not have married parents... it seems like something small to pick at but I'm hoping they see this and catch up to the times so everyone feels included. My son's dad and I have therapists to help us cope, but most people aren't so fortunate and need to hear it in places like this.Highly recommend to parents with young children with Autism! An amazing resource!! Every parent who has a young child with autism needs this! I practiced ABA using the early start Denver model by sally rogers and highly recommend this book to parents! It helps promoting play skills, communication, and ways for parents to connect with their children!
