Rollins Pam Facilitating Early Social Communication Skills: From Theory to Practice

This text presents a developmental social-pragmatic approach to facilitating language and social communication. Consistent with SCERTS model (Social Communication Emotional Regulation and Transactional Supports), it makes a major contribution to the training and support of young children on the autism spectrum, ages 3-5. While the focus is on the preschool environment, suggestions are provided for how to extend the approach to the home and other environments where the child spends time. For more information on the SCERTS model, please see The SCERTS Manual: A Comprehensive Educational Approach for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (9781557668189), from Brookes Publishing, which is available for sale to Eurospan customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
