Behavioral Challenges in Children with Autism and Other Special Needs provides a systematic framework for both parents and professionals to understand and improve a child's behavior, while also supporting underlying developmental capacities. Using a developmental, relationship-based framework, based on the DIRFloortime approach, the book guides the reader in how to understand a child's behavior, respond to difficult behavior in the moment, and then select appropriate goals and intervention strategies for a long term plan. The developmental framework is based on universal developmental principles, which are effective regardless of the child's particular age or disability. By recognizing a child's developmental level of functioning, an adult can select strategies to effectively guide a child toward higher levels of relating, thinking and communicating. This book offers a refreshing alternative to rewards and consequences based teaching model to correct unwanted behavior. The developmental approach is optimistic, building on a child's strengths, with a clear path to long term success. The outcomes of this approach are that a child develops positive self esteem through a pattern of successful interactions, and becomes warmly engaged with genuine care and respect toward others.
