All of us, including people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) want certain things out of life. And they are often ordinary things: we may aspire to a home where we like living; a job we enjoy; or a chance to pursue our interests. It can be harder for people with an ASD to realise these aspirations but, with appropriate services and support, they can be helped to live a fulfilling life with as much independence as possible. Local authorities have a key role to play in providing services which allow people with an ASD to reach their full potential. This report offers a series of recommendations about how these services can best be planned, designed and delivered, and encourages local authorities to promote independence for all people with an ASD.

Expert author Elizabeth Ives Field combines over four decades of working in the autism field to provide functional, in-depth teaching strategies for children on the spectrum who struggle with communication. Incorporating descriptions of composite children at different developmental stages, this book sets out individual goals and therapy approaches for children who may have no speech, moderately functional speech or echolalia, as well as for highly verbal individuals who may not always use appropriate language. Covering a wide range of interventions that address communication and the related areas of independence and social behavior, the purpose of each goal is to make progress toward the child's maximum potential. This book sets out skills that are developmentally appropriate and that will be immediately useful to help children express themselves more effectively and build relationships with others.

Adults with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) or a suspected diagnosis often have hidden needs that go unmet by public services. This book describes and analyses the Kent ASC enablement approach, a short-term intervention led by occupational therapy to promote people with ASC becoming more self-aware and self-sufficient outside of public services. Designed to teach adults with ASC strategies for controlling their sensory, motor-processing and social-communication needs and preferences, this person-centred approach gives them greater self-management over their lives. The book also provides an overview of a range of both professional and self-help tools and technologies which can be used by adults with ASC to increase independence and wellbeing. Case-studies demonstrate the transformative effects of enablement on daily life for adults with ASC. The book also provides recommendation for building on the enablement approach.

Ann Millan shares the story of how she helped her daughter, Robin, move past the many challenges of severe autism in AutismBelieve in the Future. Her first goal was simple; she wanted to stop the screaming, running, and self-injurious behaviors that her daughter exhibited. For ten years, Ann was told by professionals that she needed to accept Robins disabilities. Not one to give up in the face of adversity, Ann finally found quality professionals to help her. Ann knew education and therapies were Robins priority, but self-image and socialization became her focus. Ann also knew Robins inappropriate behaviors were unacceptable in society. Ann and her husband, Bob, became Robins case managers and Robin progressed beyond their wildest dreams. Today, Robin has two jobs, lives in her own condominium, drives her own car, and is a part of her community. This is her story! For more information, see: www.autism-believe-future.com. Autism is not a one-size-fits-all disability, so focusing on just one intervention did not lead Robin to successful adulthood. Many steps had to be taken along the way to get her successfully to her goal! Parents and autism professionals must work together, developing quality support and services that are cost-effectiveso we can all believe in the future for our children.

Is your ASD teen ready to venture into the community with confidence and success? Like their peers, teens and young adults with Autism and Asperger's often seek more independence as they move into their teens and twenties. However, caregivers are often concerned that their ASD teens do not have the skills to independently navigate outings and activities in the community successfully. Designed for both parents and professionals, the Community Participation and Independence Skills workbook is your guide to assessing and teaching your ASD learner the skills they need to successfully navigate a wide variety of experiences in their community. This easy-to-use and engaging book is practical and hands-on. Key features include: Builds Foundation Skills + Community Activity Skills The book focuses on two types of skills that are required for successful outings in the community: Foundation skills: These are skills that are applicable to a wide variety of outings, such as paying for goods, dressing appropriately, and walking safely and confidently. Community Activity Skills: These include the skills required to participate in a specific community activity, such as catching a bus, buying groceries, using an ATM, etc. Skills are Broken Down into Small Steps Each foundation skill and community activity is broken down into the component skills needed for successful community participation. For example, catching a bus includes the skills of determining the route, purchasing a ticket, flagging down the bus, choosing a seat, etc. Each of these skills can be assessed and taught independently so you can focus specifically on the areas where your learner needs most support. When your learner has mastered the component skills for a community activity, you can be confident they have the basic skills required for successful participation. Builds Beyond the Basic Skills Many students easily learn the basic skills for participating in community activities. However, it is also extremely important that your learner knows what to do in unexpected situations. For example, when catching a bus, your learner needs to know what to do if she misses her stop or if she gets off at the wrong stop. All the community activities and foundation skills in the book include a list of potential problems. Knowing how to handle these issues will increase the confidence of both you and your learner. If you're a parent, SLP, or teaching professional looking for a hands-on, practical guide, then you'll love the Independence Skills series from Dr. Toole and Happy Frog Press - providers of award-winning Autism resources. Support your learner's steps towards independence. Buy this book and build a confident and capable teen who is ready to participate in community activities.
