Good Books to hep you Autistic Child at Home

I'm always in the look for new books to help me at home. More and more I go to workshops or talk with parents I see there is a huge lack of education from the parents understanding not just the way Autistic kids learn but also understanding what ABA is, what Speech therapy is, how to deal with behavior and so on.
Something that many parents don't get is that kids with Autism learn different and have different approach to learning.

So with that in mind when we see books is not one fit all because of course even Autistic kids have different personalities. But the more  we can educate ourselves more we can help our children to succeed in their own way.

A good way to start is making a checking list of what your child knows and what he doesn't know.






To some people visuals are hard but there are books that help a lot with that with cds with  ready made materials for you. Specially to help getting reading started a topic that is really hard to autistic kids.




I read many books about ABA but this is a really good one that explains the steps of ABA easier than other ones.



I spend a lot of money on books but much of what I know is in part from these books. I think they are a  investment  not just for parents but for the child as well.


I also have a new file at Teachers Pay Teachers: Learning the Alphabet Basic Level Vol 1

Check it out HERE.

Road to Learn numbers with Number Sequence

 Something that is easy for kids to learn is to count, is pretty much a memorization thing. My son is doing a pretty good job at saying the numbers he got the memorization down, but once that part is done I think than starts the hard job, knowing the sequence of numbers and understanding numbers value.
I started to shop and create files to help to introduce him that concept. This goal by the way is on his EIP. EIP goals pretty much just talk about saying numbers but is equally important to make sure that your child understand the numbers.

So I created this file

Which is Vol 2 and you can see the Vol. 1 HERE. Which will be 28% off for two days with code TAD13 starting tomorrow.

I got this cookie jar very cute. You can find  many cookie jars toys but this one I liked for several reasons: it has 2 games and counts the cookies also the actual cookies has a number printed on one side and the other side the quantity. So it's a toy that can start with the basic level and last for more.

Counting bears is great for that as well and also working on matching colors with the 5 cups that come with it.

I hope that gives you some ideas.
