Girls Under The Umbrella
of Autism Spectrum Disorders
Practical Solutions for Addressing Everyday Challenges
Co-authored by an experienced professional and a mother of a
young girl on the autism spectrum, this much-awaited book combines the best of
both worlds as it gives a voice to girls under the umbrella of autism spectrum
disorders. The authors provide insightful first-hand accounts of girls lives
along with research-based strategies and practical techniques for addressing the
unique needs of girls on the spectrum while nurturing and developing their gifts
and talents. Throughout each chapter, you will find descriptions of
interventions and strategies designed to improve specific behaviors at home, at
school, and in the community. Throughout, the emphasis is on what sets girls
apart from boys on the spectrum in an effort to ensure that their unique needs
are met and their special talents are fostered and nurtured.
