Samenvatting:

The Connection Formula describes Nancy Swanberg's approach for connecting with children on the autism spectrum and shows what is needed to prepare them for social independence. In addition to many tips and techniques for parents and educators, the "formula" offers a way to reformulate your thinking about autism and see it from the child's point of view. A comprehensive strategy is presented to uncover and accommodate neurological differences such as language processing issues, unique perspectives on time and schedules, difficulties processing emotions, and countless concept gaps that often leave autistic children to fend for themselves in a world you might not recognize. With examples from more than 25 years working with clients on the autism spectrum, Swanberg shows how to get to know your child's world, and provides practical tools you can use to help them go beyond social skills toward genuine social relatedness.
