Reviews for Developing Leisure Time Skills for People with Autism Spectrum Disorders
This book provides structured strategies to introduce meaningful leisure time to children and adults with an ASD that they can practice at home, in school, and in the community. It includes forms and charts to assess sensory need and select age-appropriate activities." - Autism Eye "This resource should be on the bookshelves of all who love or work with ASD children and adults. It’s a well-written, user-friendly guide full of structured strategies to make leisure time fun instead of anxiety-provoking. If you are the parent of an autistic child who requires your constant presence and you find even attending to your personal needs (like taking a shower) difficult, you will value the time when your child learns to enjoy activities to entertain himself safely with minimal supervision. This is a resource to be used again and again. It has practical and comprehensive information to increase the quality of life of autistics and their families by guiding them to find personally meaningful and satisfying leisure pursuits. Because of its importance to quality of life, leisure is being included more and more in individual support plans (ISPs), individualized educational plans (IEPs), and other formal plans for those with ASD." - Frienshipcircle.org, 5 Books for Those Supporting Individuals with Autism and Sensory Issues
