Everyday life with profound autism - a practical handbook for professionals

Our most comprehensive guide for professionals: understanding, everyday life, tools and the system in one volume.

Written for teachers, support workers, assistants, health and social care professionals and supported housing staff. It moves from understanding to practice: first why behaviour is not deliberate, then how everyday life is built, and finally the concrete tools. Includes printable W.H.I.C.H. and ABC forms and a reference list.
