Book SynopsisIn Assessment and Intervention for Executive Function Difficulties, McCloskey, Perkins, and Diviner provide a unique blend of theory, research, and practice that offers clinicians an overarching framework for the concept of executive functions (EFs) in educational settings. The conceptual model of executive functions is detailed, including their role in behavior, learning, and production across all settings. The heart of the book focus on the practical issues involved in the use of assessment tools, tests, report writing, and the implementation and follow-up of targeted interventions using the EF model. Six case studies are introduced in Chapter 1 and followed throughout the book, building understanding of the executive function difficulties of each child, assessment for identifying the difficulties, and interventions for dealing with the difficulties. An additional case study is discussed in detail in one of the concluding chapters, and downloadable resources willTrade ReviewThis book fills a gap in knowledge regarding the critical role of executive functions. It will be invaluable to professionals who are concerned with the evaluation and treatment of educational and mental health problems. Nancy Mather, PhD, is professor of learning disabilities at the University of Arizona and co-author of the Woodcock-Johnson IIIThe authors masterfully weave the emotional plight of six students to illustrate the most comprehensive model of executive functioning capacities in children to date.

Book SynopsisA Transdiagnostic Approach to Develop Organization, Attention and Learning Skills introduces the GOALS program an innovative and skill-based approach that addresses the unique array of academic, occupational, and socio-emotional difficulties commonly faced by college students with underdeveloped executive functions.This program consists of ten sessions delivered in a group format to help college students improve their academic performance. Over the course of these sessions, participants learn strategies to prioritize tasks and assignments; schedule and manage life responsibilities; cope with life stressors; identify relevant on-campus resources; prepare for upcoming exams; take well-structured notes; maintain motivation; and several other strategies designed to reach their academic goals. Each session builds on earlier sessions, so previously learned skills lay the foundation for the successful implementation of newly learned skills. This practical and easy-to-impleTrade Review"GOALS is a must have for anyone working with college students. It’s a well-researched, up-to-date, and practical guide for group therapy for students with executive function difficulties. Compared to individual therapy manuals designed specifically for ADHD or learning disabilities, GOALS expertly describes a more efficient, scalable approach for teaching skills to last a lifetime: notetaking, time management, and overcoming procrastination. This manual deserves a permanent place on your desk, you’ll never need to put it away on your shelf!" Carla Counts Allan, PhD, Division Chief of Psychology at Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix Children’s Hospital."With the increasing number of college students needing support for organizational and executive function challenges, GOALS is a must-have resource for all clinical providers and clinics serving this population.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The ManEating Sofa An Adventure with Autism and
Book SynopsisPeople often say that school is the best time of your life', but for Lara, school is loud and confusing. She much prefers watching James Bond films or building furniture in her dad's workshop. When the teachers at Lara's new school realise that she is autistic, they are able to help with strategies to make school more tolerable for her. All except Mr Prender-ghastly. The headmaster has been looking for a way to gently direct Mr Prendergast towards a change of career, but it is Lara, and her special man-eating sofa, who finally help rid the school of the fearsome teacher. This entertaining story, suitable for readers aged 8-12, explores some of the challenges faced by autistic pupils and those with social communication and interaction difficulties in mainstream schools. It highlights the stress and anxiety that young people with sensory processing and social interaction difficulties may feel in the noisy and unpredictable school environment, and identifies some strategies thatTrade Review"The Man-Eating Sofa is a delightful story, empathetically written for school pupils, teaching staff and adults to gain a better understanding of autism, which is one of the aims of the National Autism Strategy (June 2021). Whilst light-heartened and filled with humour, it does not detract from the seriousness of autism as a neurodevelopmental condition."Karin Twiss, Senior Educational Psychologist and Strategic Lead for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Conditions"Plum Hutton makes the learning process dynamic, and understood within a real context, using a delightful story that children (8-12 years) and families will enjoy. The first parts of the story reflect the ‘too frequent’ and unnecessary challenges that many autistic children and their families will likely have experienced before gaining the necessary support and understanding. The story is positive and upbeat, and the experience of reading it ... promotes the compassion, understanding, thought and optimism that are such key ingredients for supporting and embracing neurodiversity."Caro Strover, Educational Psychologist"The book has a really engaging and strong storyline with brilliantly fleshed-out characters and gets across the confusion and frustration and the sheer 'thinking differently' of autism so well, as well as the wider struggles for the family. I especially enjoyed Lara’s excitement at building her sofa – and then the testing out of the sofa by the teachers, which I had to read three times as I was laughing so much. I can’t tell you how helpful your book and guide have been in making the behaviour of autistic friends and colleagues so much more explicable to me and for providing such clear direction for improving the ways in which I can communicate with them too."

Taylor & Francis Working with Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Book SynopsisIn children, mental health challenges and communication differences typically combine in complex and inter-related ways. Remarkably, this crucial point is all too often forgotten, and communication is overlooked. Services are frequently fragmented, leading professionals to look at children through distinct lenses of either mental health or communication, meaning insights can be incomplete and important perspectives unshared.Working with Child and Adolescent Mental Health makes the compelling case that communication is central and should be a primary consideration whenever we think about childrenâs mental health. With a practical focus, and an easy- to-read format, it suggests how this can be achieved by identifying how practitioners and services can work more cohesively to understand and optimise childrenâs communication capacities.This book includes: Practical advice, grounded in current research, and presented in an easy-to-read, digestible styleTrade Review“Addressing mental health needs in children and young people is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. McCool makes a compelling case for placing social communication at the centre of managing these needs. This book is essential reading for all speech-language pathologists involved in the care of these clients.” Louise Cummings, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China “This is an important book for anyone who wants to support young people’s mental health, offering both theoretical and practical insights. Communication support needs are often overlooked in young people with mental health issues although they can have devastating implications, not least on the efficacy of any intervention offered.” Melanie Cross, Speech and language therapist, author, and video interaction guidance supervisor “The format of this book is beautifully balanced: it is authoritative, yet concisely and clearly written; it is highly practical yet packed with useful information. It will go a long way towards closing the gap between speech and language therapy and the rest of the child mental health world.” Helen Minnis, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Glasgow, Scotland "This book is an excellent resource for SLTs working, in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and anywhere else where a child or young person has mental health needs. It is the book I have been waiting for since I started working in an inpatient CAMHS service. The book is full of useful resources which can be used straight away, and it is written in a very accessible format. There are very clear examples of why it is so important to look at both communication and mental health and it describes how these are so intertwined. I feel it is also a useful resource for other mental health professionals to help them understand why SLTs are so important in mental health settings." - Hayley Rosenthall, Advanced Specialist SLT, RCSLT Bulletin, Winter 23/24 Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Tables Introduction Chapter 1: The central role of language and communication Chapter 2: Ways of thinking about mental health and communication Chapter 3: Practitioner competencies Chapter 4: Learning from experience Chapter 5: Considering social communication in children and young people Chapter 6: Responding to social communication needs Chapter 7: Changing contexts and cultures Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd An AtHome Guide to Childrens Sensory and
Book SynopsisAn At-Home Guide to Children's Sensory and Behavioral Problems gives a new perspective on sensory and behavior problems, one that sees those behaviors as stemming from a child's immature sensory nervous system and regulation difficulties.This book offers an effective at-home intervention, the Qigong Sensory Treatment, that enlists a parent''s attuned touch to address often overlooked sensory issues that underlie problem' behaviors and works to organize those sensory experiences to foster connection and the capacity for self-regulation. It introduces the reader to a new and clinically useful model to understand sensory development, the Early Childhood Self-regulatory Milestones which are critical to the emotional and behavioral health and regulation for all children. With clear step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and links to online instructional videos, it teaches parents how to successfully implement the daily QST hands-on routine. Unique to the treatment moTrade Review"An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems is so much more than a wonderful introduction to the Qigong method of soothing children with sensory challenges. Garofallou and Silva have written a remarkable book about the remarkable power of touch for physical, emotional, cognitive, social and prosocial development. All parents – indeed, all of us – will benefit from reading this tour de force."Stuart Shanker, D.Phil, distinguished research professor emeritus of philosophy and psychology, founder of the MEHRIT Centre, Ltd., and Self-Reg Global Inc. "Touch, sensory processing and self-regulation are central to every child’s development. This book is bursting with richly detailed, yet clear and simple explanations of how these three key neurosensory domains work. It shows parents and clinicians how they can use touch to help children whose behavior says they need help to process their sensory experiences and regulate themselves. Parents and clinicians will also find here a similar approach - to give themselves the support they need to support their children’s growth and healing." Joshua Sparrow, MD, Brazelton Touchpoints Center, Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School. "An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems weds Eastern and Western traditions of soma and psyche into a seamless hands-on book to promote the optimal development of self-regulation in children through sensory co-regulation and emotionally attuned parenting. Illuminating and practical, this conceptually sound and functional book is a must have for parents and professionals alike." Gilbert M. Foley, Ed.D., IMH-E, co-author, Linking Sensory Integration and Mental Health: Nurturing Self-Regulation in Infants and Young Children and Mental Health in Early Intervention. "As a developmental behavioral pediatrician with over 25 years caring for families who have children with autism spectrum disorders, I am very excited to recommend Qigong Sensory Treatment for Parents & Clinicians: An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems. This approach to therapeutic touch offers a new (and very ancient!) way to help children regulate not only their sensory systems; QST can have a real impact on the childrens’ emotional, physical, and behavioral self-regulation issues including sleep problems, tantrums, stomach upsets and even aggression. The book is nicely organized with many detailed helpful and practical suggestions for making QST soothing and enjoyable for the children.

Covering an expanse of fundamental topics, this edited volume features new directions in research and practice that are essential to understanding the ever-changing field of autism. Along with new chapters from leading experts (including those who identify as autistic), this revision places greater emphasis on the intersection of neurodevelopmental differences with ethnicity, race, culture, language, gender expression, and socioeconomic experiences. The diverse disciplines and perspectives presented provide a foundation on how these students learn and how best to provide them with effective teaching, therapy, and social supports. This book equips readers with knowledge and skill to competently apply reflective and humanistic practices that prioritize the prTrade Review‘Learners on the Autism Spectrum’ is an exceptional, comprehensive work gifted to us by two of the most respected voices in educating and supporting the development of autistic individuals. For this edited and updated volume, Pamela and Kari have convened experts, researchers and practitioners to share their cutting-edge expertise in a manner that will be of great value to educators, therapists, family members and autistic individuals. In addition to the the practical content, the lived experience of, and respect for autistic individuals and family members shines through in this essential volume.~ Barry M. Prizant, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Adjunct Professor, Dept. of Communicative Disorders, University of Rhode Island, and author of Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing AutismHow much easier my life would have been if I had read this book during my teacher education classes years ago! This material bridges the gap between theory and practice for those who work with children on the autism spectrum, saving much trial and error. The tips for the classroom are especially helpful.~ Mary Schlieder, special educator, inclusion specialist, and author, With Open Arms –Creating School Communities of Support for Kids with Social ChallengesPamela Wolfberg and Kari Dunn Buron have compiled a critically important volume in supporting learners on the autism spectrum. As each individual's needs are different, they offer us multiple perspectives on how to support learners with contributions from a list of seminal authors in the autism field, including the crucial voices of those on the spectrum and their families. All the chapters share a humanistic framework that respects the perspectives and preferences of learners on the spectrum. From early intervention, school related academic and behavioral supports, social-communication strategies, to transitioning to adulthood, the reader will find what they need to get the latest information on assisting those on the spectrum.~ Jed Baker, PhD, author of Social Skills Training for Children & Adolescents with Autism and Social Communication Differences, No More Meltdowns, Overcoming Anxiety in Children and Teens, The Social Skills Picture Book, Preparing for Life, No More Victims, and School Shadow Guidelines. www.jedbaker.comThis is a very thoughtful update of a must-read text. ‘Learners on the Autism Spectrum’ provides a deep dive into important current topics for students and professionals in the field. This is one of the only texts to include the voices of autistic experts. I have added this treasure to my professional library and strongly recommend this book. ~ Barry G. Grossman, PhD, Ziggurat GroupThis is a treasure trove of tips on how to educate children with autism...This highly approachable book contains chapters by leading experts describing their insights into the nature of autism spectrum disorder, written with teachers in mind. It makes plain that teaching these children is both enormously challenging and hugely rewarding.~ Uta Frith, FmedSci, FBA, FRS, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development, University College LondonIt is rare to see such a comprehensive guide to research and theory in autism that at the same time uses exemplars to make it all accessible and addresses the question that parents and educators most want to know – what does it all mean, and how can I use it to make a difference? This book will be a wonderful resource for all those seeking to understand (and value) people with autism.~ Professor Rita Jordan, Autism Centre for Education & Research, Universityof Birmingham, United KingdomThis is an important textbook in the current autism renaissance...Today, parents and professionals have a wide variety of books to inform and guide their efforts. This book, however, isn’t about autism’s “yesterday” or even its “today.” ‘Learners on the Autism Spectrum’ is about autism’s tomorrow. It merges current thinking with insight to equip each reader with the tools needed to effectively educate learners on the spectrum in the future...Its purpose and quality distinguish it from many other books in the field...

In between the lines of text, and directly reflected in the case examples that open each chapter and the lists of ideas that close them, is a demonstration of how to think about autism...The result is a volume that contains a rare social competence with the potential to connect all learners on or alongside the autism spectrum – university students, professionals, parents, and learners diagnosed with ASD and their peers... (Excerpted from foreword of previous edition).~ Carol Gray, Director of The Gray Center for Social Learning and Understanding, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USThe latest edition of “Learners on the Autism Spectrum” goes beyond providing essential knowledge and practical skills that professionals seek to meet the needs of individuals with neurodevelopmental differences by also taking into consideration personal intersectional needs based on sociocultural identities (e.g., ethnicity, race, language, gender expression, socioeconomic).
