Created by a parent/professional of a child with Autism, this CD-ROM focuses on strategies which facilitate functional, purposeful communication in the natural environment. The author explains in a presentation format how to shape and increase a child’s communication using commonplace, everyday situations. The principles of Applied Behavior Analysis are the basis of her strategies. The interactive software incorporates visuals and text to solidify the concepts that are being explained. Some of the topics covered include: prompting, requesting, words that mean the same thing, generalizing concepts, and using abstract words. This is an excellent source of information for parents, grandparents, professionals, and paraprofessionals alike.
