by Elisa Gagnon

Item: 9781931282017


Format: spiral bound
Pages: 63


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 Card Strategy is designed to do just that …

This step-by-step book shows parents and educators how to help change an unwanted or inappropriate behaviour by capitalising on the special interests that characterise 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.
