Autism - Early intervention is very practical for young children who have been diagnosed with a disorder within the autism spectrum: Parents have a very important role to play here. And there is a proven method of early intervention: the Early Start Denver Model. The authors give very concrete suggestions on how elements from this model can be integrated into everyday family life. These can be "fridge slips" or suggestions for joint activities. Everyday routines such as breakfast or the evening bath become learning experiences and opportunities for development. "When my child was diagnosed, I was just done. This book, written by people I trust, gave me the orientation I needed." - Laura Shumaker.
