She shows that whereas neurotypical people can easily shift their attention from one interest to another, those on the autism spectrum tend to focus on a single theme at any one time. This leads to a deep, intense attention. Wendy describes practical outcomes for individuals, families, educators and employers. She shows that when this unique learning style is understood, valued and accommodated, individuals on the autism spectrum can be empowered to achieve their fullest potential.This is an essential read for anyone with a personal or professional interest in autism, including individuals on the spectrum and their families, educators, clinical practitioners, researchers, occupational therapists, and other professionals.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 150mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 340gAuthor: Wendy LawsonIllustrator: Lisa SimoneContributor: Lisa Simone (Illustrated by)Genre: MedicineRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
