Описание: Autism?

She shares important tips on how to use apps responsibly and effectively by maintaining a childcentered, team approach to teaching and learning, taking into account the individual’s interests, strengths/ challenges, vision, motor planning, attention, sensory processing, memory, cognitive ability, environment, and access to tools. Lois also coaches adults on how they can use prompting and reinforcement techniques to help establish and generalize skills learned, until students are able to consistently demonstrate the skills in various environments (home, school, etc.).For those who are new to the wonderful world of apps, worry not! Lois provides helpful sections on how to get started, including: Choosing an iDevice, Basic iDevice Operations, Opening an Account, How to Download an App from iTunes, and more!But what about apps that were released since this book was published?

First-hand accounts of how parents support their transgender children
There is a new generation of parents and families who are identifying, supporting, and raising transgender children. Their efforts--practical, political, intellectual--are part of a shift that has arisen in support of gender-nonconforming children, across schools, advocacy organizations, medical and mental health clinics, and especially online. In Trans-Affirmative Parenting, Elizabeth Rahilly interviews parents of transgender and gender-nonconforming kids, as well as medical doctors, endocrinologists, mental health practitioners, advocates, and educators, to present their fascinating stories.
Rahilly explores how parents come to terms with conventional ideas about gender, sexuality, identity, and the body, including parents' complex deliberations about nonbinary possibilities and medical interventions for their kids. Throughout these processes, Rahilly shows that parents' decisions and understandings often counter contemporary LGBTQ advocacy positions, which have worked to resist overly medicalized and/or gender-normative views and expectations. For example, contrary to mounting societal emphasis on gender-fluid and nonbinary identities--and despite parents' efforts to imagine options "beyond" the proverbial gender binary--Rahilly found that her interviewees' children were often strongly binary-identified as boys or girls. In turn, for many of the parents, gender-expansive parenting ended up looking surprisingly "gender-stereotypical," per the children's own assertions and expressions. In addition, many parents came to see transgender experience as strictly a biomedical condition, echoing their children's own understandings of their bodies and their identities. While these perspectives may counter recent LGBTQ advocacy efforts, from a child-directed point of view, this is what supporting transgender children often looks like. Ultimately, Rahilly examines how parents can best advocate for transgender awareness while not reiterating the kinds of gendered and embodied expectations that has led to transgender stigma in the first place.
In an era that is increasingly transgender-aware, the book offers provocative new insights into transgender children and the parents who raise them.

Описание: Many people on the spectrum never get ""the talk"" from their parents, and therefore suffer from ""information deficit"". This book goes a long way toward filling in the gaps in their knowledge. It takes a candid look at aspects of sex and relationships as they apply to people on the autism spectrum.
"This book is essential reading for parents, teachers, and young adults to help prevent cyber abuse. Jed Baker gives good, practical advice " -Dr. Temple Grandin, author of The Way I See It and The Autistic Brain.
The digital world offers a wonderful way to communicate and socialize with others. Yet, it is also rife with the dangers of being victimized emotionally, physically, and financially. Trusting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, who are oftentimes socially isolated, are especially vulnerable to online predators. Finally, we have a resource to help prepare them for the minefields they may encounter on the Internet.
In this much-needed book, Dr Baker presents three main areas of concern for our kids, including
cyber bullying;
online sexual predators; and
internet scams.
Through Dr. Baker's invaluable advice, kids will learn what to look out for, who to avoid, and how to protect themselves when they're communicating online.
