What Really Works for Children with Autism aims to be a guide for anyone who has a child with autism, as well as for educators and caregivers. Many difficulties for these children arise due to a lack of knowledge about exactly what autism is and what its consequences are. This book provides detailed information about:

• What autism is and what the 10 most important needs of these children are.
• How you can support them in their sometimes strange or difficult behavior.
• How to deal with this as a (grand)parent, teacher, therapist, or supervisor.

As mentioned, the authors note that autistic children have ten major needs:

1. Being understood

2. Clarity

3. Predictability

4. Getting direction

5. Connection

6. Good agreements and rules

7. A positive self-esteem

8. A feeling of general well-being

9. Meaning

10. Encouragement

Lucas the lion cub loves playing with his friends, snacking on his favorite foods, watching his favorite shows on TV just like everyone else. But Lucas is different because he doesn't talk. This makes things harder for Lucas, and frustrating, because people don't understand what he wants and he can't find a way to tell them.

Then one day, Lucas's mom brings him The Tiny Talker(TM) to help when he can't find the words he needs. The Tiny Talker Method helps children with communicative disabilities learn to use an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device in a more natural way.

By pairing the device with a storybook, children are able to see the symbols in the story, touch the corresponding sound buttons on their Tiny Talker(TM) device, and hear the device's response. This reinforces children's understanding by appealing to visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning styles all at once. Lucas the Lion Loves The Tiny Talker(TM) is a fun and intuitive way to help children find their voice

The Comprehensive Autism Planning System for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Related Disabilities (CAPS) is a tool to help teachers and educational teams to plan and implement a student's program across the school. This includes planning for the implementation of the Individualized Education Program, and the curriculum relevant to the student. It takes the team through the process of planning out the goals/objectives to be targeted in each activity of the day, the modifications and accommodations that should be provided to support the student in each activity, the sensory supports to help the student stay engaged, and the communication and social supports that the student needs to be successful.

In addition, it identifies the type of data that should be collected for each area and the reinforcers that have been chosen for use for success. As with many tools, while this system was developed for use with individuals on the autism spectrum, it can be an essential tool for any student regardless of the types of supports and needs they have. There are various forms of this system that focus on targeting specific skills for each activity and identifying the communication, sensory, and reinforcement supports that will be needed for each situation.

There are also vocational and transitional formats that are available for students making the transition to work. The system is helpful in sharing information across the education team, in helping families to see how programs are being implemented, and is greatly helpful in setting up classroom environments that meet the individual needs of the students.
