Target Ladders Autistic Spectrum Book EA
Product Description
Target Ladders: Autistic Spectrum enables both non-specialist teachers and SENCos to identify appropriate learning goals for independent learning, to adapt the suggested strategies or ideas for their own pupils, and to begin to impact on the way in which children on the autistic spectrum access the school curriculum in order to close the gap between these children and their peers.
Target Ladders: Autistic Spectrum identifies seven areas of difficulty:
• Social interaction: friendships
• Social interaction: relationships
• Getting attention
• Managing change
• Personal organisation
• Managing feelings
• Non-verbal interaction.
These are then broken down further into Target Ladders, with suggested activities and strategies offering classroom-friendly ideas so you can support the child to meet their target.
