Using a combination of social scripts and easy-to-understand activities, this maanual provides accessible information on health, hygiene and personal safety issues for people with autism spectrum conditions or other developmental disabilities. Presented as seven distinct units, this new curriculum covers all aspects of day to day life paying particular attention to areas that may cause confusion or distress, including illness and visits to the doctors. The authors also offer advice on puberty, appropriate sexual behaviour and 'stranger danger', making this a comprehensive manual for children and adolescents from the age of five upwards.
