Produktbeschreibung
Tommy Laroo is a non-verbal autistic boy who is always getting bossed around, smothered with questions or loaded up with tasks and demands. Accompany Tommy through his day to see what it's like to have constant demands placed on you without a voice of your own to express how you feel, what you think or what your prefer. As it is with most nonverbal children, Tommy does have something he'd like to share with you. Will you listen? Tommy's character was inspired by author Aaron DeLand's eighteen year career working with roughly one thousand different children on the autism spectrum. Something he saw as a common experience for many of these children was that they were being "over requested" "over tasked" and at times flat out interrogated. Not from a place of malice, but out of a yearning for more connection, learning and growth. Regardless of intent, this experience turns a lot of children off to interaction. This book aims to shed light on this phenomenon, and also offer insight into how to help children learn and develop without using so many demands. The first half of the book is the story of Tommy Laroo, the second half is filled with tips and techniques on how to help children with various challenges be more socially connected.
