A Buffet of Sensory Interventions : Solutions for Middle and High School Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Does your middle or high school student struggle with sensory challenges?

A Buffet of Sensory Interventions: Solutions for Middle and High School Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders offers a smorgasbord of sensory-based interventions for use by educators, occupational therapists and parents.

This practical and well-researched tool is unique because it focuses on middle and high school students, whose sensory needs are often overlooked.

For this age group, the author emphasizes the importance of fostering independence, self-advocacy and self-regulation as a way to for teens with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to take ownership of their sensory needs as they transition into adulthood.

Using simple terminology and illustrations, the book also explains sensory basics, describes the sensory systems, discusses sensory challenges experienced by those with ASD, and helps develop daily educational interventions through assessment of sensory needs.

Parents and educational team members working with teens with ASD will benefit from adding this resource to their library.
