The second edition uses the same format as the first edition which offered advice to help better understand & manage the behavior of students with ASD & similar challenges. This edition shows how to use the scales effectively with diverse populations. Book is divided into six sections. The first section is a brief overview of how to use the 5-Point Scale. The second section includes the specifics of the original 14 scales and scenarios. The remainder of the book presents new material for scales that are applicable to younger students (Section 3) and those on the more severe end of the autism spectrum (fourth section which includes an expanded use of the Anxiety Curve model). In the fifth section, the authors present a variety of new scale ideas used since the first edition in 2003. The final section is a list of goals and objectives related to the use of the scale that teachers have used on IEPs. The Preface has the web address to download blank scales, small portable scales, and scale worksheets. | |
