Book SynopsisPeople with severe autism experience the sensory information they receive from the world completely differently to those not on the spectrum. They feel cut off and overwhelmed, and their behaviour can become very distressed. This handbook shows how we can engage with people who are non-verbal or semi-verbal and sometimes even those who have speech but lose the power to process it when they are in crisis. We can help them to make sense of the world.Intensive Interaction uses a person’s own body language to make contact with them and Sensory Integration develops the capacity of an individual to receive, process and apply meaning to information provided by the senses through targeted physical activities. These techniques can be used to develop an environment tailored to the particular sensory needs of the person with severe autism, reducing factors that cause distress. With illustrations, case examples and a wide range of tried-and-tested techniques, this practical guide provides indispensable tools for parents, carers and other professionals supporting people with severe autism and other learning disabilities.Trade ReviewThe years of experience in sharing the world with people with autism that are communicated throughout this handbook are what make it powerful - this is a genuine sharing of insights and expertise... Moreover, this handbook is incredible empathetic. We are given real insights into what sensory overload and distortion feel like alongside more information about the senses than practitioners and carers usually have access to... It is a quick and easy read, but one that has impact. -- British Journal of Learning DisabilitiesThis handbook shows how we can engage with people who are non-verbal or semi-verbal and sometimes even those who have speech but lose the power to process it when they are in crisis. -- BILD Information ServiceI would recommend it to any parent.carer or professional seeking to develop meaningful relationships with individuals who are hard to reach and an environment that supports the sensory needs of the individual with ASD. -- Autism West MidlandsTable of ContentsAbout the Authors. 1.

Book SynopsisIntensive interaction is a valuable approach, with the potential to radically enhance the well-being of difficult-to-reach individuals, such as those with profound and severe learning disabilities, autistic spectrum conditions and emotional problems. This highly accessible book will help families and professionals develop a deeper understanding of this highly-successful approach and its associated issues, resulting in improved communication opportunities within a variety of care, therapeutic and educational settings.This compendium offers a multidisciplinary perspective to intensive interaction, bringing together the authors' experience and research from different disciplines. A glossary format and thematic structure are employed to enable readers to quickly access topics of interest, and gradually build on their understanding of the approach. Each chapter is devoted to an over-arching concept - including psychological theories of human behaviour, relationship building and maintenance and social inclusion - and illustrated with case studies to support theoretical assertions and offer practical examples of useful techniques.A useful reference and reflective tool, this book will interest both family and professional carers, support staff, special education teachers, learning disability nurses, social services practitioners, speech and language therapists, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, or anyone who is interested in intensive interaction and wants to learn more.Trade ReviewThis is a helpful little introduction to an approach that provides a way to enrich the lives of many individuals with ASD and severe learning difficulties through making their communication with others more enjoyable. It addresses an important and neglected aspect of the everyday lives of many with ASD. -- Journal of Autism and Developmental DisordersFor a speech and language therapist working with adults with learning disabilities it provides useful, informative and searching discussions on where intensive interaction fits in our scope of practice, and challenges the boundaries and constraints of a conventional therapy model. Throughout, the authors provide case studies to illustrate challenges they have experience in implementing Intensive Interaction and how they have attempted to overcome these. They provide practical and useful suggestions including how to support carers and other professionals. Particularly useful is the discussion about setting up Intensive Interaction and the additional support needed at a management and strategic level. This book goes some way to support practitioners to develop a 'culture' of Intensive Interaction and leaves the reader feeling empowered to put ideas into practice. -- Speech & Language Therapy in Practice, Rebecca Finn, Speech & Language Therapist working with adults with learning disabilitiesThis book would be useful to anyone with an interest in intensive interaction, from professionals (such as occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists, nurses, social workers) through to care/support staff and families. It is also a useful resource for managers thinking about supporting teams to adopt this approach in practice. The book gives a thorough definition of what intensive interaction is. As the authors have broad clinical experience, intensive interaction is described from the viewpoint of each, clearly highlighting how this technique can be used for a variety of purposes (from education, therapeutic, social inclusion and of course, communication)...The authors cover a range of really practical issues when using this approach (including expectations, goal setting, what if it doesn't work initially, whether to schedule/structure intensive interaction sessions, and how to know if its working). The importance of disseminating an individuals' intensive interaction techniques, and what engagement/interaction might look like are highlighted, with systems suggested for communicating this within staff teams... Environmental considerations (physical, social, and political are discussed ) and support the reader to consider the environment in which they are attempting this approach, and how to maximise the impact of any intensive interaction intervention. This really highlights the importance of the 'bigger picture' when embarking on this approach with our clients... If you have an interest in intensive interaction, then this is a very good resource. I found that it covered a broad range of topics, dealing with the strengths as well as the challenges of using this approach, both on a basic level, but also thinking of service and wider political agendas within the systems we work in... I really enjoyed reading this book, and feel much more informed about this approach, which increases my confidence both in using it, and in suggesting its benefits to others. I would certainly recommend this resource to others. It really highlights the importance of making relationships with people who find it difficult to be with and relate to others, enabling these people to experience the benefits of being connected to another person (being acknowledged, valued, and listened to). The book is informative, and covers the topic from a range of professional and person backgrounds, exploring the challenges and strengths of this approach. There is an extensive list of further reading and useful websites which guides the reader to continue learning and developing their approach. -- COTSS PLD NewsletterTable of ContentsIntroduction. 1.

Book SynopsisPlacing motivation at the heart of all encounters and therapeutic activities, this book presents a groundbreaking, evidence-based model for working with children, including those with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and emotional and behavioural difficulties. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the authors describe this innovative paradigm - the model of Synthesis of Child, Occupational Performance and Environment - in Time (SCOPE-IT) - and explain how it can be used to sustain the child's motivation and active involvement in the therapeutic process. They suggest ways of using language and of structuring and working with the environment to maximise engagement and autonomy and achieve the best possible treatment outcomes. The challenges professionals may face when working with children are also clearly addressed, and engaging case studies and photographs place the key theoretical concepts in a richly human and personal context. Combining accessible theory with a wealth of tools and strategies for practice, this book is essential reading for all those working therapeutically with children, including occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists and psychotherapists.Trade ReviewThe key theory and model that underpin the entire book are: Self Determination Theory (SDT) and The Synthesis of Child Occupational Performance and Environment-In Time (SCOPE-IT)... Many practitioners may have used principles of the SDT and SCOPE-IT without knowing it. Both the theory and model are explained in great detail with clear references to research and best practice. The book will help practitioners look afresh at key factors in creating and working in a therapeutic relationship. -- Child and Adolescent Mental HealthThe book is excellently laid out and highly accessible. Theory, practice, personal experience and referencing is seamlessly interwoven...This book for professionals who work therapeutically with children and their families. It is especially useful for those who are looking to extend their skills to take account of the diversity of both the nature of their work and their client groups, and to consider perhaps a different framework for the evaluation of their interventions and reflections of their practice. -- DebateI congratulate the editors and their authors on producing an impressive, timely volume that addresses a key set of challenges confronting clinicians. They skilfully highlight the motivational factors that do make a difference to outcome...I found myself captive to the "flow" of ideas fuelling my intrinsic motivation to read on! I am confident that others will be similarly captured! -- Professor Alan Hayes, Director of the Australian Institute for Family StudiesThis book is a breath of fresh air, bringing together concepts grounded in motivational research but clearly demonstrating how they can be used by the practitioner in everyday practice. It should be a standard text for all therapists who want to ensure that the child's views and goals are always at the centre of interventional approaches. -- Professor Amanda Kirby, The Dyscovery Centre, University of WalesTable of ContentsDedication.

Book SynopsisWith a variety of case examples and contributions from experienced clinicians, this book introduces Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) in practical, user-friendly language, and for the first time guides readers on how to use it with people with intellectual disabilities. CAT is increasingly recognised as an effective approach for working with people with intellectual disabilities. It focuses on observing and describing typical patterns of how the client relates to others, how they behave in relationships and how they see themselves. By considering how these patterns first developed and how they can be revised in a more constructive direction, CAT can encourage change to occur as the result of healthier relationships. The contributors describe in straightforward terms how CAT may be used with people with intellectual disabilities, and provide CAT tools adapted specifically for this client group. CAT and autism, CAT with people with intellectual disabilities in forensic settings and CAT with survivors of domestic abuse who have intellectual disabilities are also explored in detail. This is essential reading for any clinician wishing to use CAT with people with intellectual disabilities, including psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers and support workers, as well as professionals across forensic services.Trade Review[This book] dissolve a division and steps into an unexpected richness where expressions labelled as 'difference' or 'disability' are witnessed compassionately, and looked at with shared curiosity and equality... It is moving as well as practical and engaging, and offers clear practical adaptations of CAT's working structure with many case illustrations and descriptions of adaptations of the CAT tools... I recommend all CAT therapists and other therapists to read this book. -- CAT, by Elizabeth Wilde McCormick, Psychotherapist and author * Journal of Association of Cognitive Analytic Therapy *The phrase 'I don't have the words' is often heard in therapy sessions as the therapist tries to attune to the client and their needs... Thus, the adapted tools of CAT can be helpful for any situation where the client and therapist are struggling to begin a conversation... This book has been long awaited and now the client's voice is beginning to be heard as the conversations commence. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who seeks to learn more about CAT and how it can be used wherever words cannot be found or the conversation is faltering. -- from the foreword by Val Crowley, Consultant Psychologist and CAT PsychotherapistDuring the last thirty years we have witnessed a major change in provision of the psychological therapies for people who have intellectual disabilities (ID). Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) became part of this process about fifteen years ago but very little has been published on it that was accessible to practitioners, families and service users. At last we have a detailed and accessible book which provides accounts of the development and use of CAT and guidance on its use with people who have intellectual disabilities. This book will inspire those who want to work therapeutically with people who have ID. It will open new doors as it will help to expand training and provision of therapists. It will demystify what CAT is and show how, with creativity, it can be made accessible to people who have ID and similar difficulties in a range of contexts. -- Professor Nigel Beail, South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust & University of Sheffield, UKTable of ContentsDedication.

Book SynopsisDrawing together motivational theory, research-based evidence and guidance for best practice, this book presents innovative models for goal-setting and goal pursuit in therapy with children. Setting goals not only allows children, and their families, to engage with the overall therapeutic process, but it also provides an essential motivational element throughout the entire therapeutic process. The editors and contributors give practical advice on empathically collaborating with the child and his or her family, to clearly identify achievable goals that can be wholeheartedly pursued. Key information on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is accessibly explained, which will aid professional understanding of the relationship between motivation, goal-setting, and strong therapeutic practice. The approaches in this book can be used by a wide range of professionals, including those who specialise in working with children with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, and emotional and behavioural difficulties. The combination of theory, research and practical advice makes this book an essential resource for professionals working therapeutically with children, including occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, social workers, arts therapists and psychotherapists.Trade ReviewThe essays collected in this volume helpfully guide professionals to be better able to support these basic needs, articulating in practical terms the component skills and attitudes required to facilitate children's Autonomy, Relatedness and Competence in treatment settings. Building on strong empirical findings and an increasingly rich clinical literature in SDT and related approaches, these chapters provide steady scaffoldings on which practitioners' competence and creativity can ascend. -- from the foreword by Richard M. Ryan, Institute for Positive Psychology and Education, Australian Catholic UniversityDo we really need a book on writing goals? YES, YES, and YES! We have been educating students and therapists for decades on how to collaboratively develop meaningful goals and therapists continue to tell us how challenging the process is for them. Finally, a book that blends the theoretical and practical perspectives to guide therapists in engaging children and families and supporting their autonomy, relatedness, and competence. A must read - an impressive book that is comprehensive, with the depth and rigor the topic deserves, but at the same time is written in a useful format that empowers therapists and provides them with the tools they need to engage children and families in setting and supporting the goals that are meaningful to them. -- Lisa A.Chiarello, PT, PhD, PCS, FAPTA, Professor, Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences, Drexel UniversityAs an ancient Chinese saying goes, "A good beginning is half the success". Goal setting and motivation lay the foundation for effective therapy. While goal setting appears to be deceptively simple, it is surprisingly challenging for many to do well. This book provides therapists with inspirations and practical strategies to set goals that are instrumental for successful therapy. A wonderful book that comprehensively addresses the art and science of goal setting! -- Dr May Lim, OT, PhD, GCertHigherEd, Assistant Professor, Deputy Programme Director, Academic Programmes Deputy Director, Centre for Learning Environment and Assessment Development (Co-LEAD), Singapore Institute of TechnologyTherapy goals are best achieved if children are intrinsically motivated to act. Meaningful engagement is optimized by control and choice (autonomy), connection and collaboration (relatedness), and capability and confidence (competence). This articulate and informative text provides a superb synthesis of the principles of goal-setting and motivation, which are critical ingredients to a child's personal growth, participation and mastery. -- Annette Majnemer, Director and Associate Dean, School of Physical & Occupational Therapy, McGill UniversityThis internationally-authored book, edited by Australian experts in the field, Poulsen, Ziviani and Cuskelly, masterfully brings together the concepts of self-determination, autonomy, relatedness, competence, motivation and family-centred care, to form a comprehensive evidence-informed guide on goal setting for pediatric rehabilitation and beyond. A highly engaging read illustrated by widely applicable scenarios and linked to goal setting resources that will allow the reader to take the next steps with the families with whom they work. A must read for novice and expert clinicians alike, and an ideal resource to include in health care professional training and orientation of new staff in pediatric settings. -- Virginia Wright, Chair in Paediatric Rehabilitation, Bloorview Children’s Hospital Foundation, Associate Professor, Department of Physical Therapy, University of TorontoA thought provoking book which supports the present values reflected in pupil centred planning in the new SEND code of practice. -- Educational Psychology in PracticeTable of ContentsForeword by Richard M.

Book SynopsisSelf-care is not an egocentric practice of navel gazing. It has to do with self-awareness and self-creation as well as with self-care and self-control. Self-care not only affects the individual way of dealing with oneself, but also relationships with other people and the world. It has been part of a philosophical program of the art of living since ancient times. Every professional therapy is confronted with questions of self-care, for example how the patients treat themselves and whether the therapist is too interested or too little interested in their own health. The authors give their conclusive and helpful answers based on models of balance, rhythm and resonance.

Book SynopsisThere is ample evidence that disabled children are less valued members of society than able-bodied children. Child welfare practitioners are increasingly looking at not only the child''s impairment and suffering but also the child''s needs in a wider context--to be included as an equal member of society. Laura Middleton''s book aims to provide sound guidance for social workers, community carers, teachers and health visitors, and her book gives them a better understanding of the disabled child''s experiences and needs. She covers such key themes as discrimination, bullying, appeasement, abuse, communication issues, family support, and children''s rights. Methods for generating a better, more effective service for the child are fully explained and illustrated.Trade Review"This is a well-written and thought-provoking contribution to our understanding of the ways in which disabled children are treated and marginalised in our society. It should be read by all those who work with children, as well as those who have an interest in disability generally." (Adoption & Fostering) "The strength of this book lies in its description of disabled children as active participants in society…This book makes a significant contribution to our knowledge about disabled children’s lives." (Health and Social Care in the Community) "The book makes for compulsive reading once begun and has a clarity of style which makes complex issues accessible. …I would recommend the book to lecturers, practitioners and students within the social care fields and to disabled individuals, their carers and groups who are eager to identify with the political debate which informs their social exclusion" (Child & Family Social Work) "Any book about disabled children that starts with the experience of disabled young people is doing something right." (Community Care) "It is particularly useful in making practical suggestions for more inclusive provision and will be an invaluable text for all childcare professionals." (Aslib Book Guide) "This excellent book is a courageous, cogent and challenging look at how to translate a social model of disability into action."

Book SynopsisToday’s therapy dog handlers recognize the need to be teammates with their dogs, not just supervisors. Teaming with one’s dog involves unobtrusively providing physical and emotional support as well as respectful guidance in what to do. Being a teammate requires attention to the handler’s behavior, not just the dog’s. This book reminds all handlers that being conscious of what they do with their dogs increases the effectiveness of therapy visits as well as providing a more rewarding experience for all involved.Written by a nationally famous practitioner with decades of real-world experience, the book introduces the “STEPs of Teamwork” and how those STEPs fit with a Therapy Dog’s Bill of Rights. These general principles free handlers to apply them in their own way to their therapy dog’s individual personality and work. As the author writes, “The book explores a way of being conscious of what you do with and to your therapy dog to support him in his work. It describes functional principles of behavior you can learn and use immediately, either together as a package or independently.” Using an exciting new methodology, the author guides readers to deepen their relationship with their dogs by acting consciously and respectfully.

Book SynopsisThis text contains a collection of papers presented at the 6th World Congress on Down's Syndrome, held in Madrid in October 1997. The papers focus on the scientific advances and therapeutic practices that make it possible for people with Down's syndrome to enjoy good health, to be recognized socially, to go to mainstream school, to have a job, to integrate in their community and to enjoy a better quality of life. The papers aim to reflect the dynamism of the Down's syndrome community at national and international levels, and the questions and solutions envisaged in many parts of the world. They also highlight the challenges for future concern. The most important and urgent challenges discussed are: increased recognition of the syndromic specificity of Down's syndrome; better knowledge of the genetic mechanisms inducing Down's syndrome and of the individual variation at the genetic and epigenetic level (particularly brain development); more precise characterization of psychological, educational and social development in Down's syndrome individuals; continued improvement of medical care for the whole life cycle of Down's syndrome individuals; better and specialized school techniques and approaches for tracking literacy and computational skills in Down's syndrome children and adolescents; more effective ways of integrating Down syndrome individuals into society and making them feel and be fully-fledged members of our social structures; and adequate medical, psychological, and social care of ageing Down's syndrome personsTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisNoise damage to hearing health is a health risk which is associated with both civilian and military occupations as well as certain leisure activities. Occupational noise damage to hearing must date from the bronze age, when man first began to fashion metals some five thousand years ago. The rapid growth of industrialisation over the past two centuries has produced what might be termed as the current civilian epidemic of occupational noise induced hearing loss. This series seeks to address points relevant to current knowledge of the subject. The volume should prove useful to members of the many disciplines that have an interest in this subject.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements. Preface. Part I References. Part II Some Acts, Regulations and Standards Relevant to Hearing and to Noise. Part III Glossary of Symbols, Abbreviations and Terms. Part IV Chronology of Development of Knowledge and Practice Relevant to ONIHL. Part V Chronology of Publications relating Tinnitus to Noise Exposure.
