Brief guide to autism treatments by Sandberg, Elisabeth Hollister

Publication: London Jessica Kingsley Publishers 2013 . 173 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. 25 Date: 2013

Helpful to get an overview of many treatments in one book - searching the internet can get confusing. Also nice to know about scientific back-up on these treatments.

Friendships and dating : by Sutton, Lynn

Publication: [Adelaide] SHine SA 2013 . 1. DVD : 23:38 minutes2. Booklet : 23 p. : col. ill. ; 21 cm. 25 Date: 2013

I can't decide if I like this or not. It is an odd combination of info for families and education for people with disability. I actually think most of the DVD is too complex to use direct with people with disability. I'd still probably use it as a template for adapting rather than an as-is resource.

Development in practice :

Publication: Portsmouth Down Syndrome Educational Trust 2007 . DVD ; 76 mins 25 Date: 2007

I found this DVD excellent. It dealt very clearly with the stages of speech and communication development and it helped me understand how my son processes information. There are lots of ideas and examples for parents to try. I liked that the parent was the facilitator while the narrator explained. I will be coming back to this a few times as my little boy grows.

Exploring friendships, puberty and relationships : by Ripley, Kate

Publication: . 147 p. : col. ill. ; 28 cm. 25

A useful resource for working with groups of adolescents/young adults. It would be the basis of a really nice programme to support the development of relationship skills and knowledge of puberty/safety. It would preceed sexuality education Some families may be able to adapt it for individual use.
