Recipe Handbook of Easy to Use Activities for Teaching Autistic Children—and children with autism spectrum disorders and other learning disabilities by Barbara Bazeghi

$29.95
2006, ISBN 0-9753115-0-6

Throughout her eight years of working with children with autism, Bazeghi created a number of methods for teaching easy to use activities. These activities were developed through trial and error, and she has compiled the most successful ones into Recipe Handbook. The purpose of this handbook is to offer a new approach, giving the reader something that is not currently available. It offers experimental activities that can be applied quickly and with very little preparation. Instead of adding to the excellent number of books, magazines, and journals, it complements them with hands-on activities. The book consists of four sections:

• Activities: includes language, math, colors and shapes, inclusion/circle of friends, and applied activities

• Methods: includes charts, schedules, and “How to…” techniques

• Problem Solving: includes practical suggestions to deal with difficult situations such as temper tantrums, toilet training, and fixations

• Commercial Resource Index: includes an reference to websites, catalogs, suppliers, materials, and information that is pertinent to the education of special needs children.

The handbook also includes many activities, sample letters and notes to parents and faculty, reproducible pages, and a problem solving section.
