Developed for professionals and parents working with low-functioning children, One-on-One: Working with Low Functioning Children with Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities presents structured learning activities, step-by-step.

Each activity is clearly illustrated, and presented in detail, so you can recreate it in your classroom.

Developed by author Marilyn Chassman, this program chronicles a five-year process of homeschooling her son Brian, a child with autism who exhibited very aggressive behaviors and did not communicate.

It covers:

• Dealing with aggression
• Record keeping
• Communication
• Self-help
• Fine and gross motor skills
• Sensory toleration

How Does It Work?
The approach focuses on breaking down a task to its basic components and linking them together, one step at a time, to form a complete activity. Activities begin with an easy match-to-sample exercise and progress to include typing simple words on the computer and following a picture schedule.

Includes 116 pages and more than 30 activities.
