Autism and the Social World of Childhood

SEND Professional Books
By Carmel Conn (Routledge, £28.99)

It describes the experiences of interaction, friendship and play from children's own point of view and thereby provides insight into children's lives as they are lived and understood by them. Readers can use this to inform their educational practice and create more effective learning environments.

Practical guidance is provided on educational approaches for supporting the inclusion of children with autism within the ordinary social worlds of childhood.
