Power Cards: Using Special Interests to Motivate Children and Youth With Asperger Syndrome and Autism
Product Description
Individuals with Asperger Syndrome and autism see the world differently than others do. They are visual learners who require interventions that can tap into their strengths and special interests. The Power Cards strategy is designed to do just that.
This step-by-step book shows parents and educators how to help change an unwanted or inappropriate behavior by capitalizing on the special interests that characterize children and youth with AS. A brief, motivational text related to a special interest or a highly admired person is combined with an illustration and made into a bookmark- or business card-sized POWER CARD that the youth can refer to whenever necessary. For younger children the special interest or hero is worked into a brief story. ISBN: 1931282013, By Elisa Gagnon
