Summary "Anyone meeting a young child with autism for the first time will find this book invaluable. The authors provide extensive material that will be equally accessible and relevant to parents following an early diagnosis of autism in their child. In a clear and sensitive style, the authors: outline the characteristics of autism as they present themselves in the early years; consider the nature of autism and the issues surrounding assessment and diagnosis; offer practical strategies for effective and realistic intervention both at home and in a variety of early years settings; explore possibilities for enhancing access to the early years curriculum. This book will provide much-needed support and advice to anxious parents, teachers and professionals who are working together in an unfamiliar area."--BOOK COVER
