Russian description on:http://the-essential-5.com/index.php/the-book/russian-versionAbout this book 'The Essential 5' has been written with a view to parents and educators. Raising and guiding a child with autism, HOW do you do that? This book has been inspired by the need for clarity and predictability which the child with autism has. One could say that the child is reaching out for help, needs us to take his hand. In other words: WHAT is my task, HOW do I perform it, WHERE does it take place, WHEN must I do it and WHO is involved?You familiarize yourself with this method while reading, because it explains the consequences of the disorder for 'being able to be a child'. This is how readers gradually gain insight. This is what the author calls 'putting on your auti-specs'.It is not until you put on auti-specs that you realise HOW the child's mind works. This will allow you, as an parent or educator, to fit in with that properly.About the authorColette de Bruin-Wanrooy works as a trainer and SEN coordinator in families with children with autism and/or an intellectual impairment. She is the mother of five autistic foster children and was raised by - among others - a father with Asperger disorder.Readers are drawn into this book by the author's practical way of working, which can of course be translated to their own situations.
