This review is from: Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Social and Communication Intervention for Children with Autism (Paperback)

This is a must read for all educators, speech pathologists and parents who are interested in helping children with autism learn complex social and communication skills. Dr. Quill's first book was wonderful; this book is even better. It is an easy-to-read book that gives hundreds of practical ideas for working on complex social skills and communication skills. There is a comprehensive assessment tool that targets key areas such as imitation, solitary and social play, communication, conversation and social-emotional skills. The recommended intervention strategies draw from the best of behavioral and developmental research on autism. This book is tops on my recommended book list!!!

This review is from: Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Social and Communication Intervention for Children with Autism (Paperback)

This book is one of the best autism resources on the market! The social and communication targets and activities listed in the book provide a wonderful source of ideas for parents and professionals. As a speech-language pathologist, I found the assessment section to be the most helpful. The checklists provided have really given me direction as to the next steps to take with children. The text is also comprehensive, providing information ranging from joint attention and AAC to topics such as emotions and higher level pragmatic skills. I just can't say enough!
