Hygiene and Related Behaviors for Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum and Related Disorders

This innovative curriculum teaches important hygiene skills and associated social understanding using a fun approach that targets the core characteristics and learning styles of children and adolescents on the autism spectrum. The author's generous use of structure, predictability, self-monitoring and ways to convey and check for social understanding is worked into all discussions and activities. Ranging from basic daily hygiene to picking, using public restrooms, burping and farting, topics focus on healthy and socially acceptable behaviors.
