Summary "The aim of this book is to assist you to understand why difficult behaviour can occur in people with Autism and other related disabilities. Once we understand what is going wrong when a situtation is challenging, or difficult, we are in a position to do something about it. This book will provide the reader with both the tools and the strategies to change the course of many problem behaviours. In doing so, we will assist you to look at the person in the context of their skills, their needs, and the day to day life. By doing so, a much more accurate picture of why behaviour is occuring will emerge along with much more successful strategies for prevention." - page [1]
