Although the autism community agrees that early intervention is key to effective treatment, the telltale signs of this disorder usually don't reveal themselves until the age of two or three. But what if it were possible to detect the potential for autism within the first year of life? That is the basis of Osnat and Philip Teitelbaum's book, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Your Baby Have Autism?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis dedicated wife-and-husband team has worked for nearly two decades to develop ways of detecting signs of potential autism or Asperger's syndrome by examining a child's early motor development. By studying the patterns of righting, sitting, crawling, and walking in typical infants, and comparing them with those of children who were later diagnosed with autism, the authors have been able to pinpoint movement patterns that appear to be the precursors of autism and Asperger's. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Your Baby Have Autism?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e first provides general information about the history of autism, followed by a discussion of The Ladder of Motor Development. Each of four chapters then examines one motor milestone--righting, sitting, crawling, or walking--contrasting typical development with atypical development so that it's easy to recognize unusual patterns of movement. Also included is a unique thirty-second Tilt Test--easy to perform at home--which helps reveal a balance problem characteristic of children with autism. Finally, parents are guided in finding professional help for a child whose motor skills may indicate a problem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is a way to detect signs of autism early in a child's life, when therapy can do the most good. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes Your Baby Have Autism? \u003c\/strong\u003eholds the key to a brighter future for children and their families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Osnat Teitelbaum, Philip Teitelbaum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0757002404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780757002403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Square One Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 7.77w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Supplements\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2007 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/07\/2008 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2008 pg. 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/21\/2008","brand":"Osnat Teitelbaum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45478357893375,"sku":"9780757002403","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5d3ce9f-2ca2-4b12-96e4-3c9a38bcda9d.jpg?v=1715934992","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/does-your-baby-have-autism-osnat-teitelbaum-9780757002403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
