The Incredible 5-Point Scale:
Assisting Student with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Understanding Social Interactions and Controlling Their Emotional Responses by Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis
Customer Review The concept in this book is one of those that makes you say, "Well YEAH, DUH." Because it's so simple and workable you wished you'd thought of it yourself! The basic premise is any behavior goal you want to work on with a child can be addressed in a five point scale. I'll give my son as an example. He yells like a maniac...when he's just talking in his normal voice. This drives me CRAZY. So, his scale is 5: I'm being kidnapped, or I'm just having a really, really, really good time on the playground OUTSIDE. 4. Loud play, but not ear piercing. 3. NORMAL INSIDE VOICE (my favorite) 2. Shhhh, whisper and 1. SILENCE (okay, I fibbed, many times THIS is my favorite.) It can also be used for expressing how the CHILD is FEELING. Anxiety levels, fear levels. The idea is that you can address many different issues whether at home or school, it gives clear examples, reproducable sheets and it's an easy concept for teachers, parents and kids to understand. I also love the companion book "When My Autism Gets Too Big", which I highly recommend for kids (and for the adults who care about them.) Incidentally, while the examples in the book are color coded and they are ingeneious ways to implement them in the school and classroom--as a parent I think that there's a reason gave me FIVE FINGERS! The Incredible Five Point Scale of course!! When I hold up three fingers, my son's voice automatically lowers because it's his signal to go DOWN on the scale.
Great book! Fun, nice visuals. Also, there is a DVD, which is a great way to demonstrate the program and have all team members (at home and at school) on the same page. -- Kristi Sakai
The Friendship Factor: Helping Our Children Navigate Their Social World- And Why It Matter for Their Success and Happiness by Kenneth H. RUbin, PhD. with Andrea Thompson
Book Description
Based on twenty-five years of research on friendship, Dr. Kenneth H. Rubin reveals the importance of children's social development to their emotional and intellectual growth-and future success. In The Friendship Factor he uses vivid case studies to differentiate normal development from potential problems and real distress, exploring how to:
Distinguish between a solitary child and a lonely child
Encourage the development of "popularity-as-likability," not "dominance"
Help an easily angered child be less aggressive
Increase a child's social ability with specific skills and strategies
Customer Reveiw This book provides great hands-on tips for dealing with autism. The case studies
and examples make confusing or unusual approaches much clearer and easier to try
at home or explain to others (doctors, teachers, etc.). Reading cover to cover
is unnecessary, all chapters can be read independently. The authors give clear,
knowledgeable solutions for dealing with such problem behaviors as escaping,
biting, and "stimming", along with lots of information on using various intervention techniques. A must-have for teachers and parents!
