The guide that every parent must have! Gary Mayerson has devoted his career in law to helping children with autism get the fair and appropriate education that they need and deserve. In this field guide, he brings parents up to speed quickly and efficiently on the ways educational bureaucracies work—or more importantly, don’t —for children with special needs. In addition to providing inside information on the "must-do’s" and "must don’ts" in advocating for your child in the educational system, there are also strategies on how to prepare for an IEP meeting, what to do when children don’t get crucial services, and how to avoid due process. Armed with solid information, parents will be empowered with all of the tools they need to advocate for their child’s education. The practical and straightforward approaches presented in this must-have guide are not only applicable to children with autism spectrum disorders, but to children with any disability.

Here is the ultimate guide for parents, professionals and graduate students on how to identify specific goals and skills for teaching children with autism spectrum disorders! 
With over 70 years of collective experience working with children diagnosed with ASD, the authors present a family focused model that places emphasis on the needs of both the child and of the family as a whole. Improving a child’s skills and emotional functioning has a direct, positive impact on family functioning. By identifying family stressors and using them as a starting point for child-centered goals, parents can achieve the best outcome for both the child and the family. 
With the two-fold goal of teaching children with autism new and adaptive behaviors, and simultaneously reducing family stress, this is an invaluable resource and an innovative teaching tool.

But if students cannot pay attention, will not wait, or do not understand feedback, then learning is extremely difficult. In this volume effective programs in teaching students how to learn are described and demonstrated.

Volume 6 in the Work in Progress Companion Series focuses on the tools needed to help children with autism combat bullying. Sadly, bullying has reached epidemic proportions in our schools, causing students both physical and psychological harm. Students with ASD are particularly at risk because of their behavior issues and their vulnerability. It is not surprising that more than 60% of children with ASD have been bullied at some point of their life. Traditional ways of combating bullying are not only ineffective, but often make the problem worse. This volume will provide practical suggestions that help prevent the devastation of bullying.
