Book SynopsisThe rules of physical contact can be tricky to grasp and children with special needs are at a heightened risk of abuse. This friendly picture book explains in simple terms how to tell the difference between acceptable and inappropriate touch, thereby helping the child with special needs stay safe.Each story covers a different type of touch from accidental to friendly to hurtful and will help children understand how boundaries change depending on the context. It explores when and where it is okay to touch other people, when and where other people can touch you, why self touching sometimes needs to be private, and what to do if touch feels inappropriate.This book is an invaluable teaching resource and discussion starter for parents, teachers and carers working with children with special needs.Trade ReviewIt helpfully introduces the idea of inappropriate touch from other people and ways of staying safe without being scary or embarrassing. This is an ideal book to read and discuss with primary school children with autism and also suitable for older children. -- AukidsClearly illustrated, with a healthy dose of appropriate humour for a potentially awkward and embarrassing subject matter, this book is brilliantly plain and simple. The illustrations will help children, parents and practitioners to convey the social norms that surround and govern physical interactions, without denying children the affection and reassurance that appropriate touch can give. -- Early Years Educator (eye)This is an excellent book which would be very useful for parents and professionals working with vulnerable young children. -- SEN MagazineThis is a beautifully illustrated, succinct, collection of short stories that can help young children gain insight into acceptable and unacceptable physical contact. Teaching any child how to self-advocate can be tricky, however, Hunter Manasco's An Exceptional Children's Guide to Touch provides wonderful visual instructions and a gateway for discussion about this delicate subject. Child maltreatment is endemic, and I applaud Manasco's matter-of-fact, presentation of this topic. His book speaks to the needs of all young children and vulnerable adults, trying to navigate their way through our complex and confusing sexual jungle. An Exceptional Children's Guide to Touch is an excellent resource for 'parents, teachers and other adults' working with young children and exceptional people. -- Jane Whelen Banks, MHSt, FNP, author of The Loveable Liam seriesThis superbly crafted book teaches the child with special needs about the complexity of touching without denying them the affection and reassurance that touch can give. Its child friendly language and illustrations are perfect in explaining inappropriate touch without being frightening or embarrassing. In a nutshell, it provides clear and simple guidelines, backed up by the reassurance that a trusted adult is always on hand to help if there is any confusion. This book cannot fail to touch a chord with parents and professionals alike in its exceptionally brilliant simplicity. -- K.I. Al-Ghani, experienced specialist advisory teacher, autism trainer and author of The Red BeastAn Exceptional Children's Guide to Touch will be of great use to anyone involved with children that have any learning or development need. The combined use of Hunter's text and Katharine's illustrations has created a wonderful resource to help navigate the complexities of social rules and norms regarding physical interactions, traditionally a sensitive area to broach. This book could be used with an individual child or within a group setting and would be a valuable addition to all parents', carers' and professionals' libraries. -- Jackie Bateman, child protection specialist (sexually harmful behaviour) and children's services manager, Barnardo's The JunctionTeaching social and physical boundaries to children can be a sensitive issue that schools sometimes grapple with. This well illustrated book provides a useful resource which is relevant and accessible for young people and the issues are dealt with in a sensitive and practical way with appealing illustrations. -- Dr Peter Lloyd Bennett, Educational Psychologist * Debate - British Psychological Society *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe Growing Up Guide for Girls is a one-stop guide for young girls on the autism spectrum explaining all they need to know about puberty and adolescence. The pre-teen and teenage years are a bumpy time when bodies change, emotions are high and peers are developing at different paces. Using simple, literal language and delightful colour illustrations, this book explains the facts about body changes such as growing hair in new places, periods, wearing a bra and keeping spots away! It gives cool tips on what makes a real friend, what it means to have a crush on somebody, and how to stay safe online. Most importantly, it explains that every body is beautiful and unique and encourages young girls with autism to celebrate difference! Perfect preparation for the teenage years for girls aged 9-14.Trade ReviewI have been teaching students on the autistic spectrum for over a decade now and I am energised to think that I can use these books in a comprehensive manner in my class, encourage parents to utilise this material in a comfortable and comforting way at home, and I am massively delighted to believe that students themselves will be able to access, follow and actually use these books! A huge step forward! -- Nichola O'Grady, Special Needs Teacher, St. Laserian's Special School, Carlow, IrelandThis beautifully illustrated book about puberty in girls is aimed specifically at young people on the autistic spectrum, but much of the information will be very useful to any young person beginning to sense that she is growing up. The information is precise and detailed, and the format of the book means that it is written and published in a style that is clear and uncluttered...the emphasis is on things that those on the autistic spectrum might find difficult to understand, such as the term 'puppy fat' and what it actually means, or that following someone around that one has a crush on is not a good idea. The book is very well produced and attractive to hold and read. -- HealthyBooksTable of ContentsAdvice for Parents and Professionals. Introduction. 1. Bodies. 2. Hair. 3. Breasts. 4. Hygiene. 5.

Book SynopsisChildren and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) require specialized teaching strategies when learning about puberty, sexuality and relationships. This professional resource offers practical teaching advice geared towards the needs of young people on the autism spectrum.Beginning with information on good practice, policy, teaching methods and recent research, the book then divides into key sex education topics that assist professionals in developing their own individualized and developmentally appropriate curricula. Covering issues of gender, public and private, puberty, hygiene, emotions, sex and more, each topic provides an overview of the difficulties that children with autism might experience, discussion and activity ideas and photocopiable resources including instructional stories, checklists and illustrations. The final section demonstrates how to respond to ongoing patterns of inappropriate behaviour and put together a behaviour plan.Aiming to explain and support the child's developing sexuality while also addressing crucial issues of safety, this book is a much-needed teaching manual for all professionals working with children and young adults with autism including educators in mainstream and special education, psychologists, therapists and social workers.Trade ReviewHartman demystifies the area of Relationships and Sexuality Education with this clear, comprehensive and respectful 'How To' manual. She maximises the potential for success by meeting every conceivable obstacle head on and providing detailed guidance and strategies that can be adapted to meet the individual person's needs. An excellent resource for teachers of pupils with ASD. -- Mary McKenna, Special Class Teacher for children with ASD, Scoil Mhuire, Ballyboden, IrelandHartman's very concise and easy-to-access book on sexuality and relationships moves its readers progressively through the issues surrounding Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) and associated social concepts. This book is essential reading for professionals and families alike, because it's the first if its kind to include the wider understanding of relationships, as well as sexuality. For so long those of us living with ASC have been marginalised in this regard with so little attention being given to our legitimate needs. Frankly, firmly and with sincere but gentle understanding, Hartman addresses the usual concerns of being a sexual human being (or not as the case may be) with consideration to gender and ASC. I highly recommend this book to all interested parties whose commitment to our best is their uppermost conviction. -- Wendy Lawson, psychologist, counsellor, social worker and author of Sex, Sexuality and the Autism SpectrumWho knew there are so many things to consider when planning for sexuality and relationship instruction? Well, now we know. This book is an A to Z of what needs to be addressed and how to go about it in collaboration with parents. Great contribution to curricula for kids with ASDs! -- Rita Honan, PhD, RegPsychAFPsSI, BCBA-D, School of Psychology, Trinity College Dublin, IrelandThis book is gold. Anyone whose role it is to teach sexuality and relationship education to children and adolescents on the autism spectrum will find the answers to all their questions. Davida Hartman provides not only a convincing rationale for education in all aspects of sexuality, but also a wealth of straightforward and easy-to-apply teaching strategies. She includes references to the most up-to-date research in the area, and inspiring quotes from well-known ASD authors. She is reassuring, inclusive, positive and respectful. With this book on your shelf, you will be well equipped to teach a comprehensive, relevant and fun sexuality and relationship program to this important population of young people. -- Sarah Attwood, author of Making Sense of Sex: A Forthright Guide to Puberty, Sex and Relationships for People with Asperger's SyndromeTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Book SynopsisCritical thinking and online reading need to go hand in handbut they often don't. Students click, swipe, and believe because they don't know how to do otherwise. At times, so do we. And that's a problem. Fighting Fake News combats this challenge by helping you model how to read, myth-bust, truth-test, and respond in ways that lead to wisdom rather than reactivity.No matter what content you teach, the lessons showcased here provide engaging, collaborative reading and discussion experiences so students can: Notice how teacher and peers read digital content, to be mindful of how various reading pathways influence perception Identify the author background, the website sponsor, and other evidence that help set a piece in context Stress-test the facts by evaluating news sources, reading laterally, and other critical reading strategies Use Reader's Rules of Notice to learn to identify common rhetorical devices used to influence the reader Be aware of how for-profit social media platforms feed on our responses to narrow rather than widen our reading landscape We are still in the wild west era of the digital age, scrambling to impart a safer, ethical framework for evaluating information. Thankfully, it distills to one mission: teach students (and ourselves) how to think critically, and we will forever have the tools to fight fake news.Trade Review"If I were in charge of the world, every school would have a required media studies course, and every faculty would do a book study around Fighting Fake News. This book is an essential tool in helping students to be more consciously aware, reflective, and rational about the waves of news and other forms of "angertainment." I lost count of how many times I said, ′Yes!′ while reading this book." -- Kelly Gallagher * Teacher, Author, and Consultant *"Fighting Fake News is a must read for every teacher. I plan to read it and reread because I know each time, I will be able to glean better information. I would love to have the opportunity to see this kind of instruction be put in to place." -- Lydia Bagley * Instructional Support Specialist *"Talk about timely! Fighting Fake News begins by describing the cognitive short-cuts we all (not just the fringe) are prone to—how we so easily fit information to pre-existing biases. The authors show how digital media exploit this tendency by directing us to sources that feed these prejudices. And they provide carefully crafted lessons to promote critical analysis and thoughtful citizenship. It′s the book we need now." -- Thomas Newkirk * Professor Emeritus at the University of New Hampshire *Table of ContentsPart 1: So Much at Stake Chapter 1: The Case for Teaching Critical Reading and Fighting Fake News Chapter 2: Fake News: What It Is, Why it Works, and What We Can Start Doing About It Part II: Lessons for Critical Reading and Fighting Fake News Chapter 3: Lessons for Getting Started: Knowing Your Own Mind Chapter 4: Lessons Using ‘Rules of Notice’ in Online Reading Chapter 5: Lessons for Teaching Point of View in Digital Media Chapter 6: Lessons for Examining News, Nonfiction, and Digital Texts through Literary Lenses Chapter 7: Lessons for Teaching Students to Evaluate Evidence and Research Conclusion: Some Final Words
