As a parent of a neurodiverse child, milestones that many families take for granted--like seeing your kid graduate from high school or college, get a rewarding job, and, eventually, leave the nest--may be fraught with uncertainty. How can kids who need loads of support to get through the day ever learn to take care of themselves? This motivating, practical book gives you concrete strategies for maximizing the independence of your child or teen with autism, intellectual disabilities, or other forms of neurodiversity. Exercises and downloadable worksheets are rooted in scientifically based behavioral principles and illustrated with vivid, empathic examples. By breaking down tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, or making a sandwich into manageable "microsteps," you will learn to phase out assistance gradually and systematically as kids take ownership of their routines. Actively boost your child's autonomy--this book shows how.
