WHAT'S NEW ON THE BOOKSHELF? New In-Home Autism Program Strengthens Development Autism Therapeutic & Academic Children’s Program By Angela GACHASSIN, MEd “T he perfect in-home autism program for parents and families to help their own child on the autism spectrum progress at a much faster pace! This autism pro- gram develops, builds, and strengthens proper child development!” Angela’s Autism Therapeutic & Academic Children’s Program was originally created, written, and used for her own son, who was diagnosed with high- ly moderate to severe autism at the tender age of two and remained nonverbal until the age of six. Her autism children’s program was the initial building block that began her son’s advanced re- ceptive and expressive language skills for effective communication as a nonverbal child, and offered simple solutions to his many therapeutic and aca- demic needs. Angela created a “hands-on experience” supplies kit with 50-plus therapeutic and educational items that correlate directly with the 150-plus skills taught throughout the entire autism program for proven successful learning, progression, and mastery! The therapeutic content of the autism program focuses on phonics and language-vo- cabulary building, basic reading skills, beginner handwriting and tracing skills, sensory integration therapy, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, play skills, art and music skills, social skills, and self- care development skills. The academic content fo- cuses on basic math numbers one through 20 and on community awareness. Autism Therapeutic & Academic Children’s Program is designed for children ages two through 10 and offers creative, fun learning activities for any child on the autism spectrum with skill difficulties and deficits.
