Autismus – Frühförderung ganz praktisch Kleinkinder fördern, bei denen eine Störung innerhalb des Autismus-Spektrums diagnostiziert wurde: Eltern kommt hier eine ganz wichtige Rolle zu. Und es gibt eine bewährte Methode der Frühförderung: das Early Start Denver Model. Die Autorinnen geben ganz konkrete Anregungen, wie sich Elemente aus diesem Modell in den Familienalltag integrieren lassen. Das können „Kühlschrank-Zettel“ sein oder auch Vorschläge für gemeinsame Aktivitäten. Alltagsroutinen wie das Frühstück oder das abendliche Bad werden zu Lernerfahrungen und zu Möglichkeiten der Entwicklung. “Als mein Kind die Diagnose erhielt, war ich einfach nur fertig. Dieses Buch, geschrieben von Menschen, denen ich vertraue, gab mir die nötige Orientierung.“ – Laura Shumaker

Das Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) ist ein theoretisch fundierter und empirisch getesteter Ansatz zur Frühintervention bei Säuglingen und Kleinkindern, die Anzeichen von Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen aufweisen. Das Buch schlägt die Brücke von den entwicklungspsychologischen Grundlagen von Autismus über die eingehende Verhaltensbeobachtung bis zur praktischen Intervention in Beziehungsaufnahme und Spiel. Es bietet strukturierte Arbeitsanleitungen für die frühe Förderung der entscheidenden von Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen gefährdeten Entwicklungsaufgaben: Nachahmungsverhalten, Anpassung und Spiel nonverbale und verbale Kommunikation soziale, kognitive und motorische Fertigkeiten und Selbständigkeit. Zahlreiche Studien belegen die Wirksamkeit der in den USA bereits breit eingesetzten Frühintervention. Die vorliegende Übersetzung wurde vom Institut für Sinnes- und Sprachneurologie des Krankenhauses der Barmherzigen Brüder in Linz begleitet und getestet, um einen sinnvollen Einsatz in den deutschsprachigen Ländern zu gewährleisten.

Fred Rogers's gentle spirit and passion for children's television takes center stage in this collection of interviews spanning his nearly forty-year careerNearly twenty years after his death, Fred Rogers remains a source of comfort and fond memories for generations who grew up watching Mister Rogers' Neighborhood . Over the course of his career, Rogers revolutionized children's television and changed the way experts thought about the educational power of media. But perhaps his most lasting legacy was demonstrating the power of simply being nice to other people. In this collection of interviews, including his fiery (for him) 1969 senate testimony that saved PBS and his final interview with Diane Rehm, Rogers's gentle spirit and compassionate approach to life continues to be an inspiration. An introduction by David Bianculli provides brilliantly contextualizes the interviews and offers a contemporary reading of Rogers's storied career.

From leading authorities, this state-of-the-art manual presents the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), the first comprehensive, empirically tested intervention specifically designed for toddlers and preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder.

The manual provides structured, hands-on strategies for working with very young children in individual and group settings to promote development in such key domains as imitation; communication; social, cognitive, and motor skills; adaptive behavior; and play.Implementing individualized treatment plans for each child requires the use of an assessment tool, the Early Start Denver Model Curriculum Checklist for Young Children with Autism.
