Overview
"This fully photocopiable resource offers a flexible framework for the assessment and development of communication and thinking skills of children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs). Using practical assessment sheets and curricula, it enables teachers, educators and other professionals to observe how children use and understand language, record their skills in an assessment record and follow their progress over time." Originally devised for use with children with ASDs, this toolkit is equally effective in identifying communication problems in others, and is an invaluable resource for teachers and speech and language therapists.Synopsis
