Anyone meeting a young child with autism for the first time will find this fully revised edition of a classic text invaluable. The authors provide parents and professionals with an insight into the nature and educational implications of autism, particularly in very young children.

  • Outline the characteristics of autism as they present themselves in the early years
  • Consider the nature of autism and the issues surrounding assessment and diagnosis
  • Offer practical strategies for effective and realistic intervention both at home and in a variety of early years settings
  • Suggest ways to promote learning, social development, communication and appropriate behaviour
  • Explore possibilities for enhancing access to the early years

This updated second edition includes new material relating to new UK statutory requirements such as Every Child Matters and Disability Equality Duty, as well as updates to different approaches to autism, assessment and behavioural issues. The authors outline the principal themes and objectives of the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Inclusion Development Programme.
