Book excerpt: Educating and caring for an autistic child is a severely difficult task, too often associated with frustration and disappointment. As a result, the inner development of children with autism is at times considered to be beyond the reach of parents and carers. This book challenges that assumption, exploring case studies where therapy based on a holistic approach has resulted in marked improvements in the autistic child's behaviour and social integration. With an extended holistic programme, autistic children discover inner self-awareness and self-recognition, leading to first steps in relationships and social skills. The authors describe in detail their own practical experiences, as well as the findings of other experts in the field. This new third edition covers recent developments in diagnostic methods and approaches to treatment, including new case studies and a new chapter looking at the sensory aspect of autism and Sensory Integration Therapy. Well-researched and movingly written, this book has an essential, positive message for all those involved in the care and education of autistic children.

Download or read book Holistic Functional Approach to Autism written by Vladimir Matvievskiy PhD and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a sea of stories about autism, this is the only book that describes precise, functional self-control in order to overcome an autistic state. Video episodes of the case study demonstrate the systematic functional procedures, which help the low-functioning autistic boy to overcome autism radically due to learning functional self-control. In the text, each functional step and the holistic strategy have neurophysiologic explanations, and the results are introduced as predictable, observable, and measurable. Such breakthrough results are possible only in the case of an autistic person learning self-control over neurodynamic changes and following it in direct interactions with his surroundings in everyday living. The author of the book, the practitioners, and the family of the boy came with the boy through the series of natural experiments, experiencing the similar neurodynamic responses with the purpose to conduct and teach him precise self-control. The author scans the controlling process over the holistic, functional neurodynamic corrections. The content of the book is elicited from that actual process and for the purpose of such actual self-control. Knowing and controlling neurodynamic functioning for a normal person might be as natural as cleaning teeth or using a napkin. For an autistic child and for his parents, however, it is the only chance to overcome pervasive neurodynamic disorders. Nowadays parents face the problem of such self-control issues as neurodynamic shock. Only those who badly need it and rather deeply accept the approach are ready to learn it by doing, to test with their children the similar neurodynamic changes, and they always obtain success.

Download or read book Where Are You on the Autism Spectrum written by Helena Eastwood and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author Helena Eastwood has been working with positive insights and integrating them into possible causes and ways of working successfully with autistic people since she began teaching in a special school after completing her mainstream education. Her book Where Are You on the Autism Spectrum? briefly presents her current understanding of autism and how it may be relevant to us all. If we can gain an understanding of the autism spectrum, we may be able to scaffold the areas of interactive development that support well-being, positive behavior, and holistic development. The industrial revolution brought mass production of identical items, and now society seems to have replicated this into the manufacturing of predictable responses for mass-produced toys and associated repetitive and predictable human behavior. This can be seen alongside a more dominant lifestyle of socially conforming media entertainment and an ever-growing academic style of education. Our passive Western lifestyle appears to develop alongside an ever-growing amount of compulsive repetitive behavior! Thus, our human potential of genuine creativity and social interaction has been squashed into predetermined molds structured by industrial activity, media entertainment, and mass media communication systems.

Download or read book Methods of Treating Autism written by Elzbieta Trylinska-Tekielska and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the autism spectrum in children has been increasingly recognized. Parental awareness and the knowledge of health professionals are critical to the early diagnosis of autistic disorders. The autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders is made on the basis of observation of behavior in three areas: social interaction, communication, and behavioral rigidity. The most common diagnosis is in children around 2,Äì5¬†years of age, but the autism spectrum can be diagnosed at any age, also in adulthood. As the spectrum of autism varies, symptoms of autism may differ slightly from person to person. In order to exclude the presence of ASD in a child or adult, it is necessary to diagnose with the use of various tools, in which both a psychologist-diagnostician and a psychiatrist are involved. After diagnosis, the next important step is to include therapeutic and rehabilitation activities aimed at improving the functioning of the individual in disturbed areas. Lack of proper rehabilitation may lead to profound functional disturbances at a later age.

Book excerpt: "The incidence of autism in young children has drastically increased in the past 25 years. This book delves into the scientific research which suggests that the main causes of autism spectrum disorder are environmental factors. Studies confirm that autism is not an inherited genetic disorder, but rather a disease caused by environmental factors triggering inflammation in the brain, especially the cerebellum, limbic system and neocortex, which causes the typical symptoms involved in diagnoses. Dr. Blomberg describes the multiple steps that can be taken to heal, which begins with managing the inflammatory process in the gut and brain and then implementing Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training®, which is based on innate, developmental movements"--

Download or read book The Autistic Stage written by Telory Davies Arendell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book for those who have a stake in and curiosity about the relationship between autism and the stage. Performance here covers theatre to therapy, film to biography, art and beyond. If you are a theater or film critic, a speech or drama therapist, a higher education specialist or special education instructor, a parent of a child on the autism spectrum or an individual with ASD interested in theatre, this book may hold unique value for you. This work is meant to cover a range of issues and reach out to audiences, critics, professionals and parents who want to know more about performance representations of autism. One message reverberates throughout the book: each autistic person illustrates different approaches to and perspectives on life. We become richer each time we come to understand these new perspectives and performance powerfully enhances our understanding of them. Autism Spectrum Disorders include alternative modes of processing information, recording images, discoursing with others, and interpreting social scenes. In this conversation, performance can function as an analytical lens, a representational space, a means of perceptual innovation, and a therapeutic tool. The definition of autism as a disorder has evolved from its first diagnosis in the 1940s to our current frame of reference with several key revisions. These three categories—interaction, communication, and perseveration—underlie any published study of those on the autism spectrum. What has shifted in recent years is an approach to disability that positions autism as a social construction rather than a medical problem.
