Supporting Adolescents with Autism in Secondary Schools

Více o produktu ↓

This authoritative volume comprehensively reviews how to incorporate movement, sound, play, art, drama, and other multisensory practices into psychotherapy. Cathy A. Malchiodi and other leading experts demonstrate ways to implement and combine a wide range of expressive approaches depending on an individual's or group's needs. Rich case examples illustrate what these modalities look like in action and how they allow clients to explore feelings and memories that are difficult to access verbally. The book interweaves theory and research with practical suggestions for using expressive arts therapy to promote self-regulation and healing.

In a convenient large-size format, this book presents the first research-based, comprehensive program designed to support high school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Developed and tested in public schools by the Center on Secondary Education for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (CSESA), the program addresses four critical areas--literacy, social competence and peer relationships, independence, and postschool transition preparation for students and their families. Chapters provide a roadmap for implementation of each component, complete with intervention guidelines, case vignettes, key findings, lessons learned, and reproducible forms that can be downloaded and printed at the companion website. The book also helps readers navigate the wealth of additional resources freely available from CSESA.
