This book will empower parents and professionals working with children and young people on the autism spectrum using drama-based, immersive exercises. The exercises follow the author's simple, person-centred relational approach '3C pathway' of connecting, calming and communicating, and will enable you to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges an autistic child may face, while empowering children to become more self-aware and express themselves in healthy ways. The activities are tried-and-tested, accessible and easy to implement, and include breathing exercises, mirroring movements, and heartbeat connections. The book explains the science behind their approach as well as introducing a way in for parents and professionals to build a positive and trusting relationship, offering a secure base for children's emotional development. Act for Autism delivers country-wide training and present nationally at events such as the Autism Show, the National Autistic Society professionals conference, TES SEN Show and at schools and universities.
