Stuff You Need To Know (eBook, ePUB)

A Guide for Young Adults with Autism

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This innovative workbook will help give lower-functioning adults with autism the knowledge they need to live safe, happy, and independent lives.

Stuff You Need to Know is a guide to help young adults with autism learn the most basic skills to achieve independence. Finding suitable materials for adults with autism can be difficult. Most books are written for a younger age group, and those written for older individuals often contain too much text-which can be visual overload.

This resource is created and designed for lower-functioning adults, written by a mom and proven to have helped hundreds of young adults even before publication. This guide helps teach the basics of:

Healthy habits
Good hygiene
Technology
Cooking
Emergencies
Time and money

And much, much more!

Autorenporträt

Patricia Weaver is a parent of a son with autism. Her dual degrees in Biology and Health Sciences with a certification as a Physician's Assistant were a strong foundation for her additional training in the Lovaas method of ABA and the Greenspan Floortime methodology. She acquired additional training in TEACCH and PECS during her employment as a teacher and specialist. She has over 20 years of experience working with persons with Autism including in the Henrico County school system; as past president of the Autism Society of America, Central VA Chapter; and as four years as the Director of Tuckahoe Little League Challenger Division. Additionally, she is one of the co-founders and president of the Skills Development Center (SDC), a non-profit organization dedicated to the continued learning and self-empowerment of adults over 18 with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her passion is her current job as the Program Director of the SDC, working with these adults as they continue to learn skills, explore and develop talents and help them connect with their peers in a facilitated recreation center. Stuff You Need to Know was written for this population to help them learn some of the softer, subtler skills of adulthood such as technology, internet, health and hygiene and cooking.
