Preface by Theo Peeters
Persons with autism rarely are able to become autonomous.
They have communicative, cognitive and motor difficulties and they cannot perform activities autonomously, so their caretakers tend to make choices in their place. Teaching people to do things by themselves means to recognize and support their human dignity. This book offers practical support to parents, educators, and caregivers who want to promote autonomy in people with autistic disorders. It explains how to evaluate their degree of autonomy by analyzing their attention, motor and cognitive skills, preparing an educational plan of intervention and describing their specific problems.
The book ends with a helpful bibliography of easily available texts.
Ch. 1 Autonomy skills in autism
Ch. 2 Evaluating autonomy skills
Ch. 3 Autonomy skills prerequisites
Ch.4 Planning an intervention
Ch.5 General problems in teaching basic autonomy
