The field of early intervention for children with developmental delay or autism spectrum condition can be a confusing maze. But there ARE early interventions you can do at home, for little or no cost, that can make a world of difference to your family life - and they are in this book!

What to do when you don't know what to do:

• Introduces a wide range of approaches to early intervention for autism.

• Presents the major research overview and key further reading for each intervention for those who would like to learn more.

• Includes visually engaging, pull-out resources that can be used at home, straight away.

• Suggests a 'building block' approach, presenting some interventions as an essential base upon which other skills can be built.

Having immersed themselves in early intervention strategies ever since their own son's diagnosis of autism several years ago, teacher and resource designer Josie Edwards and award-winning illustrator Jerry Carter have created the research-based book that they would have liked to receive back when they started.
