Book SynopsisChildren need effective communication skills as a foundation for successful participation in activities at home, school and in the community. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders are often unable to learn social skills from environmental cues and require direct teaching and lots of practice.This collection of social communication cues will enable parents and professionals to help children with social development difficulties navigate their social world and enjoy interacting with their peers. Each section begins with a simple social rule; the reason why the child may be having difficulty in this area is explained; and easy communication prompts and practice ideas are provided. The younger these skills are practiced, the happier and more self-confident the child. This program is ideal for early intervention as it can be used with children aged 2 and up.This practical guide will be an essential resource for parents, teachers, speech-language pathologists, psychologists and therapists looking for a simple program for teaching social skills to young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.Trade ReviewThis is a book |'d love to have had twenty years ago, when speech and language therapy appeared to have given up on my daughter and I was desperately searching for any ideas that might help her. -- Afasic NewsUsing the activities described by author Tarin Varughese, children on the autistic spectrum will benefit from direct teaching in small groups. The book has checklists for social skills to ensure that each child's key deficits are correctly identified... I recommend this book to all parents, students and teachers who have concerns about social skills development. There are also many excellent tips for observation activities.'Montessori International, Wendy Fidler'As both a parent and a professional I have found this approach to be incredibly useful in breaking down the complexity of social exchanges. We often struggle for the right language to convey the unwritten rules of engagement. This program gives us the 'map' and consequently the confidence to help our children. I'm encouraged by the progress I have witnessed! -- Nicole Mank, Marriage and Family Therapist and parent of a child with Sensory Processing Disorder, CaliforniaAn in-depth look at social communication broken down into simplistic step-by-step instruction. While working with children/young adults presenting with pragmatic language disorder, I have found that Varughese's program offers a hierarchical approach to pragmatic coaching and lends itself to be useful for increasing the understanding and use of pragmatic language at any age. -- Michelle Harr, Speech-Language Pathologist, MichiganAs a clinician, I found Social Communication Cues for Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Related Conditions to be an incredibly useful hands-on guide for working as a social coach with children of all ages. As a parent of a child with social delays, I found it to be a blueprint for daily exercises and vocabulary that I could use at home and share with teachers. [This book] is a must-read for anyone who wants social skill-building tools at their fingertips. -- Jennie Kaufman Singer, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Assistant Professor, Sacramento State University, CaliforniaIt is divided into seven easy to dip into sections - initiating social interaction, maintaining social interaction, body positioning, perspective taking, visual modality, emotional regulation and developing humour. For each skill she gives between five and ten rules, for instance "a child needs to learn to initiate asking for help", "children need to develop the ability to think about the likes and dislikes of others". The reason for each rule is explained concisely, and suggestions given for the words for teachers and SENCos to use, along with helpful tips. -- NASEN Special MagazineThis is an interesting and potentially useful book. -- NAPLIC MattersThe book is written clearly and succinctly in easy to read style... the book provides practical suggestions for areas of social and emotional wellbeing that are frequently forgotten. Although the book describes the importance of working on these areas for children on the Autism spectrum the ideas could apply to any child with emotional/behavioural or language difficulties. -- Emma Baldwin, Speech and Language Therapist, Avon.Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1.

Book SynopsisThis book presents ten longitudinal case studies of individuals with autism and discusses the nature of childhood autism and teaching children with autism. The studies involve students of the Elizabeth Ives School for Special Children, which Virginia Sperry directed from 1966 to 1972, who were tested at the Yale Child Study Center in childhood; seven of them were tested again in adulthood. The book provides the test results and detailed information about the subjects' lives over the approximately 25-year period, the quality of their lives at the end of the study, what kinds of jobs they held if they work, and what kind of social interactions they had, if any. In the studies, the children's parents discuss their experiences raising a child with autism and caring for an adult with autism. The second edition adds a new case study and follow-ups for all but one of the original study participants to show how their lives are now.Table of ContentsForeword, Sally Provence, M.D..

Book Synopsisaeo Extensively re--written and updated, ensuring it remains the leading text in the field. aeo Reviews research on the cognitive deficits of dyslexia and the evidence concerning its biological basis. aeo Represents the only single authored book that offers a cognitive perspective on dyslexia.Trade Review"This book by Margaret Snowling...is a very welcome update of her well-received first edition book published in 1987 and reflects the significant amount of research that has taken place since this time. Margaret Snowling's thesis is that dyslexia is a consequence of a phonological deficit. Her evidence for this is extremely well presented throughout her book. Chapter 3 - The Phonological Representations Hypothesis - is exceptionally well written and assertively lays down the foundation of her argument. This book, although written with an academic rigour, cleverly embraces the impact of dyslexia on the individual...This promotes a very positive and optimistic theme on the treatment of dyslexia throughout the book. This book successfully provides a contemporary synthesis of research on the cognitive deficits of dyslexia and is strongly recommended to anyone with any involvement or interest in this complex area. It will be of enormous value to educational psychologists and teachers of students with specific learning difficulties and, no doubt, will continue to be the essential book on any training course's reading list on the subject. The book is very generously priced and therefore of exceptional value, given its contents." Dr. Barry Johnson BSc, Cert Ed, Dip Ed Psych, PhD, C. Psych Principal Educational Psychologist, The Dyslexia Institute. "An excellent view of the current state-of-the-art in dyslexia research, as is to be expected from this author, who is a recognized authority in the field. It is committed to a phonological approach to dyslexia, which explains the condition as a deficit of phonological representations. Snowling's book gives an outstanding account of this research tradition." TRENDS in Cognitive Sciences, Vol 5, No 3, March 2001. "Dyslexia is a basic work that explains in a very understandable way, very complex themes. It gives insight in the definition, ethicality and the treatment of children with dyslexia. That makes this work definitely a must-read (or: definitely very recommendable) for anyone that wants to resource himself in the understanding of and dealing with children that have dyslexia. On top of that, even experienced therapists get a better insight in the severity and characteristics of the problems of their clients".

Vision for the 5th edition We envision that the 5th edition, like prior editions, will primarily serve as a required textbook for graduate courses in AAC in communication sciences and disorders/ speech language pathologists. As is apparent from the customer feedback on the 4th edition, the 5th edition may also be used in graduate courses in related disciplines (e.g., special education). Overall the customer reviews on the 4th edition are very positive and we intend to preserve the strengths highlighted by these customers, including: Reading level and writing style, Range of topics covered, Depth of topics covered Translation of research to evidence-based practice, and Use of figures and textbooks to illustrate key content. Based on feedback from customers, networking in the field, and our own experience, we propose the following revisions for the 5th edition as outlined in the annotated table of contents (see above). Reorganization of the first part of the former 4th edition to put the emphasis on people with complex communication needs who require AAC first in Part I with information on AAC systems following in Part II Customer feedback on this proposed change was overwhelmingly positive Integration of the two assessment chapters from the 4th edition (former Chapters 5 & 6) into a single chapter (Chapter 2 in the 5th edition) Several customers suggested integrating these chapters and we agree that it will provide better coherence and cohesion to have all of the assessment content in one chapter. It should be noted that the chapter will be a long one, but the advantages outweigh this concern. Addition of a new chapter (Chapter 4) on consumer /family-centered services as well as greater emphasis on these issues in the chapters on individuals with developmental and acquired disabilities (Parts III & IV) The majority of customers supported the addition of a new, separate chapter on this topic; many suggested also infusing the content into Parts III and IV to illustrate specific instances. Addition of a new chapter on the selection, customization, and integration of AAC systems (proposed Chapter 8) In our experience, students and new clinicians often struggle to select, customize, and integrate AAC systems to meet the needs and skills of individuals with CCN. Several customers also noted this problem and suggested adding more discussion of these issues, including feature matching etc. This new chapter will address the gap. Organization of Part III according to the stages of communication development rather than specific diagnoses (see Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in the proposed TOC for the 5th edition) Although some customers liked the idea of organizing Part III by diagnosis /disability, the majority felt that there would be too much redundancy across chapters with this change and we agree; intervention decisions are based on function, not diagnosis and the proposed organization by stage of development better reflects this principle. Several customers suggested that there should be greater attention to ASD within the text. We will provide an overview on ASD in Chapter 9 in the 5th edition along with special considerations for this population. We also intend to incorporate some case examples that illustrate intervention with individuals with ASD throughout the text. We will also refer readers to the new book (Ganz & Simpson) in the AAC series on individuals with ASD who require AAC for further details. Ultimately the textbook is intended. Revision of former Chapter 13 from the 4th edition on educational inclusion to cover a broader range of issues across the life span, including not only education, but also employment/ volunteer work, family, leisure, community living, and medical care (Chapter 13 in the 5th edition). Customers rated Chapter 13 in the 4th edition as the least useful compared to the other chapters in the textbook; we propose revising this chapter significantly to cover a broader range of issues across the life span to increase the scope and application of this chapter. Update of Part IV (formerly Part III) on Individuals with Acquired Disabilities; addition of a chapter on patient-provider care In general customers confirmed that the conditions included were appropriate and comprehensive. Several customers noted that they were pleased to see the addition of a chapter specifically on patient-provider care. Inclusion of case examples A number of customers requested case studies. We intend to include 1-2 page case examples in many of the chapters to illustrate key principles; across the textbook, these case examples will cover a range of ages, disabilities, and cultural backgrounds. Greater attention to diversity /multicultural issues A number of customers indicated that the textbook should include greater consideration of diversity. We agree with this point and will revise accordingly to include discussion of the diversity of individuals with CCN and the importance of culturally competent assessment and intervention as well as case examples to illustrate. Greater attention to mobile technologies and AAC apps Many customers requested more indepth discussion of AAC apps. We will discuss mobile technology and AAC apps throughout the text (especially in Chapters 1 and 8); however we do not plan to provide a discussion or review of specific AAC apps as these apps will be outdated quickly. Rather we will focus on general principles for selection, customization, and use. Discussion of core vocabulary Several customers requested more discussion of core vocabulary. There has been considerable interest /debate about core vocabulary in recent years and we plan to incorporate more discussion of the strengths and limitations of core vocabulary approaches in Chapters 5, 10, and 11.

Book SynopsisPhonological development is linked with a child’s later success with language and literacy, but tests of early phonological skills are often not sensitive enough for the youngest children. That’s why clinicians need PEEPS™, a comprehensive assessment of early phonological skills developed specifically for toddlers 18–36 months. Created by leading experts in early phonological development and speech sound disorders, PEEPS helps speech-language pathologists detect speech and language delays early, so children can receive the intervention and support they need to be effective communicators on track for academic achievement.Why PEEPS? Developmentally appropriate. Unlike similar tools, PEEPS is specially developed to screen young children and uses elicitation techniques and vocabulary words that are appropriate for this population. In-depth assessment of an overlooked skill set. Early phonological skills are often not assessed, even though they affect early lexical development. PEEPS is the tool clinicians need to analyze the key components of phonological development, including phonetic inventory, syllable structure, accuracy of consonant production, and error patterns. Accurately identifies delays. Because most phonological measures aren’t designed for the young age range, young children may be overidentified as struggling with phonological skills—or a wait-and-see approach is taken with these children, which can delay starting early intervention. PEEPS helps accurately evaluate children struggling with phonological skills, so they can receive support as early as possible. Quick, convenient, and flexible. PEEPS gives clinicians a comprehensive picture of early phonological skills in less than 20 minutes. The kit includes the full PEEPS assessment (60 words) and a shorter PEEPS screener (20 words) that helps determine if in-depth testing with the full PEEPS is warranted. How PEEPS WorksTo conduct either the full PEEPS or the screener, the clinician will: Present a stimulus to the child to elicit each word on the PEEPS word list. The clinician may point to a small toy, a body part or article of clothing, or an illustration in the included board book, A Book of Things. Transcribe the child’s speech production onto the test form. Complete the scoring and summary page to create a profile of the child’s phonological development. Use this profile to help determine if the child is developing within expected limits or displaying delays or red flags that warrant intervention. PEEPS is easy to administer. The Examiner’s Manual guides clinicians step by step through the process, and the kit includes access to a helpful video in which the authors clearly demonstrate how to deliver PEEPS.
