For children with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) this anxiety can be overwhelming. Fear of the unknown, difficulty coping with monumental changes and the inability to imagine a favourable outcome, can all combine to make this unavoidable step in school life a time of great fear and dread. This book provides guidance for schools and parents on how to make the transfer from primary to secondary as easy as possible for children with ASDs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book advocates the need for scrupulous preparation of transfer arrangements because children with ASDs struggle to predict the outcome of any new situation. No matter how much discussion has taken place, it is only when the situation has been experienced first hand that they will have a real understanding of it and be able to build up a 'real life memory bank' (RLMB). The authors' advice aims to ensure that any preparations lead to a favourable outcome, in order to build a positive RLMB. The book outlines term by term preparation in the final years of primary school and includes photocopiable resources and a \"Moving to Secondary School\" booklet. As most children with ASDs are visual learners and think in pictures, the booklet uses symbols to aid understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaking the Move provides a wealth of effective strategies and resources that will encourage and inspire greater confidence for pupils with ASDs, parents and schools.","brand":"Jessica Kingsley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":39304845590689,"sku":"9781843109341","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/7959\/3121\/products\/9781843109341-original.jpg?v=1770368339"},{"product_id":"learning-about-friendship","title":"Learning About Friendship","description":"Making friends can be a challenge for all children, but those with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) can struggle more than most.
