Educating and caring for an autistic child is a severely difficult task too often associated with frustration and disappointment. This book challenges this assumption, quoting case studies where curative education based on a holistic approach has resulted in marked improvements in the autistic individual's behaviour and social integration. Within an extended holistic programme, involving physical, sensory, social and self-recognition leading to first steps in relationships and social skills. The authors cite their own practical experiences with these therapies as well as the findings of other experts in the field to back up their discoveries.

Bizarre and mystical,
By A Customer
This review is from: Autism : A Holistic Approach (Paperback)
Despite the impression given by the title, this book does not describe a general "holistic" approach, but rather one based on the bizarre and mystical "anthroposophical" theories of Steiner. Although the authors' care for the children they work with is evident, their quasi-religious approach means that the book is only likely to appeal to those already prepared to believe that autism is due to problems in the child's karma and the failure of their soul to "incarnate" properly.

Autism : A Holistic Approach,
By Russell Carter (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Autism : A Holistic Approach (Paperback)
This is a tremendous work which any caregiver or family member of a person with autism should read. A credit to the obvious commitment and wisdom of the author.
