Críticas:

As an ever-growing population of children on the autism spectrum ages up, so rises the urgent need to cultivate social competency across the lifespan. Expanding the use of the award-winning 5-Point Scale to support individuals in the adolescent and adult years is especially timely. This volume includes many practical and poignant examples to illustrate the application of this cutting-edge approach to address issues commonly faced by individuals with autism. I will be certain to incorporate this book in my university courses and recommend it to my friends in the autism community." --Pamela Wolfberg, PhD, professor, Autism Spectrum Program, San Francisco State University; director, Autism Institute on Peer Socialization and Play "This book will prove invaluable to families and professionals working with young adults seeking to make their way in the world independently. As an autistic person who grew up without any of this knowledge, I know firsthand what a difference it can make." --John Elder Robinson, New York Times bestselling author "Social Behavior and Self-Management: 5-Point Scales for Adolescents and Adults is a great resource. As a mentor and trainer, I have been recommending that and professionals use the 5-Point Scale with adults and young people alike. The scale is excellent because it is adaptable and simple and, therefor, versatile, quick, and effective. This book is excellent for anyone working with people on the autism spectrum." --Robyn Steward, person on the autism spectrum; trainer, mentor, and speaker - UK

Reseña del editor:

Building on the success on the legendary Incredible 5-Point Scale: Assisting Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Understanding Social Interactions and Controlling Their Emotional Responses, by Buron and Curtis, this book also uses scales as a way of explaining social and emotional concepts to individuals who have difficulty understanding such information but have a relative strength in understanding systems. The 5-point scales can be used to increase communication between the person on the autism spectrum and their support person. The result? It can increase self-management skills and, once learned, it can serve as an excelled self-advocacy tool. Foreword by Stephen Shore, EdD.
