About this ebook
Autism acceptance has led to - at least, at surface level - an increased understanding of what autistic children need, and of what they find difficult to cope with. But is the world really making the kind of adjustments that would see your child truly thrive?
In Reasonable Adjustments for Autistic Children acclaimed and much-loved author and expert Dr Luke Beardon sets out the full scope of what he sees as the essential adjustments we need to make to our homes, our schools and the wider world in order to allow our autistic young people to reach their full potential and be genuinely comfortable in each and every environment.
From school uniform to train journeys and playdates, from dentists' surgeries to holiday resorts, Luke's book offers practical measures for adapting every environment or sensory situation.
Absolutely essential reading for every parent of an autistic child, family member, caregiver, teacher or health and social care worker, this is a long-overdue book that has the potential to change the world for neurodiverse children, and for the children of generations to come.
