Autism and Understanding
The Waldon Approach to Child Development
by Solomon, Walter; Holland, Chris; Middleton, Mary Jo
Description
The book includes:
- The inspirational and well documented story of the author's son, diagnosed at two with autism and as 'basically sub-normal', now a successful professional with a wife and child.
- An introduction to Geoffrey Waldon's theory and working methods.
- Testimony from parents and teachers, covering autism and a range of learning difficulties.
This book does not offer a 'miracle cure' for autism, although the author aims to counteract the prevailing view that autism is a lifetime condition. The author demonstrates that with the appropriate intervention, children with autism - and other special needs - can gain a fuller understanding of the world and learn to take a constructive and contributing place in it.
