Grateful parents and professionals worldwide have embraced this essential guide to the recommended Floortime approach for treating children with any of the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Available in paperback, Engaging Autism includes new and exciting information about neuroscience research and the outcomes of this approach, as well as guidance for parents navigating the controversies surrounding autism treatment. Unlike approaches that focus on changing specific behavior, Greenspan's program promotes the foundations of healthy emotional and behavioral development. It shows that, surprisingly, children with ASD do not have limited potential and can often integrate with their peers, leading full and psychologically healthy lives. The Floortime approach can also be applied at any age, including early infancy when early warning signs of ASD may appear, making it possible to prevent the full development of autism.
