• With hundreds of colorful illustrations and step-by-step directions, this book lays the foundation for how to structure teaching environments using two evidence-based practices – visual support and structure. These strategies not only help individuals on the autism spectrum function more successfully during their day by building skills and creating order, they also facilitate language skills and help manage behavior.
• This comprehensive resource offers countless examples of activities for students, ranging from basic skills, to reading and math, to social behavior and more, through sorting, matching, assembling, disassembling, etc.
• Already, the work of Vera Bernard-Opitz and Anne Häußler has gained international recognition. This English translation of their original German text is sure to become a welcome addition to the daily practices of parents, teachers and other professionals in the United States and beyond.
• Vera Bernard-Opitz, Ph.D., has worked as a clinical psychologist, associate professor, and behavior therapist (BCBA-D) in rehabilitation centers, schools, universities, and autism centers in the United States, Singapore, and Germany. She combines her background in applied research with a passion to find individual treatment solutions based on best practice methods. For more than 15 years, she has coordinated the STEP Program in Singapore, which formed the basis for the STeP curriculum (Structured and Experience-Based Program). This program matches the main intervention methods (ABA, precision teaching, experience-based learning, and visual support) to the characteristics of children with ASD. The STeP curriculum is available in three languages. Vera also is the long-time editor of the Autism News of Singapore and the Autism News of Orange County & the Rest of the World. She currently works as an international consultant helping families, home teams, and autism centers through tele-consultation and workshops. In addition, she is supervisor for ABA teams in Southern California, reviewer for the main autism journals, and – last but not least – mother of two teenagers.
