Understanding behaviour: supporting children with autism spectrum disorder

$38.50

Behaviour is a form of communication. Though a person may not be saying words, it is clear through their behaviour and body language that they are telling us something.

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often take longer to learn how to speak. Often those who can speak do not have the skills to explain ‘in the moment’ what they are thinking or what is concerning them.
