Teaching Your Child with Love and Skill: a Guide for Parents and Other Educators of Children with Autism, Including Moderate to Severe Autism

by Joyce Show

Autism currently affects 1/88 children in the United States, and the needs far outweigh the resources available to help these little ones. The purpose of the book is to empower and encourage parents (and other front-line educators like teachers, tutors, aides, relatives, and friends) to reach and work effectively with their own children with autism.

The array of educational therapies for parents to choose from for their child with autism can feel overwhelming and confusing. This book attempts to distill the options into an integrated set of practical principles, following a step by step developmental framework, full of real life stories and examples that anyone can follow and understand. It’s the book of the missing steps that Joyce Show wishes she had had when she embarked on her journey with her son Peter. Joyce Show believes there is real hope for children with autism, even those with severe levels of disability. Through this book she wants to share that hope with other families that are engaged in this struggle.

This is a terrific book for parents walking the challenging journey with their autistic child. Using personal experience, the author mixes empathy and common sense with tested approaches. The eighteen chapters include creating strategies for cognitive development, teaching nonverbal communication and sensory integration. A wealth of valuable information!
