Description:
Beyond Words is a 173 page, soft cover gold
mine for parents and educational teams who are learning to deal with
inclusion. This unique book is a collaboration between the mother of
a non-verbal kindergarten child with autism and his kindergarten
teacher, with commentary and suggestions from William Allen, Ph.D.,
on all aspects of inclusion, including: The First Day, Getting to
Know You, Finding a Way to Work Beyond Words, The Social Maze, A
Break in Routines, Environmental Issues and Sensory Strategies, and
Making Friends and Moving On.
Rather than presenting a single point of view on inclusion, the
experiences of the student, his mother, educational team, and
classmates are very personally related through direct quotes under
headings "what other parents thought," "what the school staff and
professionals said," "parent/teacher dialogue," "the teacher's
perspective," "what the other children felt," and "the parent's
view." These quotes are most illuminating, and reflect diverse
insights and perspectives that all add up to the complex little boy
named Pace as he enters and moves through kindergarten with
neurotypical peers. Interspersed with these perspectives are
wonderfully descriptive, functional tips from Dr. Allen on how to
handle many challenging aspects of autism, and illustrated
suggestions from the parent and teacher on the use of visual
supports for communication, routine, and behavior.
I highly recommend this book for all parents and special educators
who are getting involved with inclusion for the first time, or who
are looking to improve existing inclusion experiences.
