Individuals with
Asperger Syndrome and autism see the world differently than others
do. They are visual learners who require interventions that can tap
into their strengths and special interests. The Power Card Strategy
is designed to do just that
This step-by-step
book shows parents and educators how to help change an unwanted or
inappropriate behavior by capitalizing on the special interests that
characterize children and youth with AS. A brief, motivational text
related to a special interest or a highly admired person is combined
with an
illustration and made into a bookmark- or business card-sized POWER
CARD that the youth can refer to whenever necessary. For younger children
the special interest or hero is worked into a brief story.
