Teaching Children with Autism to Mind-Read: The Workbook

It is now established that difficulties in understanding other people’s minds underlie many of the social and communication problems that are characteristic of autism. This workbook offers practical teaching materials and learning tools for the practitioner in the field, exploring the relationship of ‘theory of mind’ deficits to social and communication problems in children with autism. A companion to Teaching Children with Autism to Mind-Read: A Practical Guide, this book is based on the authors' successful experimental work and provides a detailed interven­tion program, with accessible teach­ing materials to help autistic children improve their understanding of beliefs, emotion, and pretence.
