{"product_id":"i-am-special-peter-vermeulen-9781853029165","title":"I Am Special: Narratives from Psychotherapy","description":"\u003cp\u003eI am Special is a workbook developed by Peter Vermeulen and already used extensively with young people with autism spectrum disorder. The workbook is designed for a child to work through with an adult - parent, teacher or other professional. Unlike other books, its content and layout are devised especially for children who read, think and process information differently. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI am Special is divided into two parts. The first is a theoretical introduction that explains how to inform children that they have autism or Asperger Syndrome and how to use the worksheets with groups or individuals. The second part consists of a series of worksheets which the child works through with an adult to create a unique and personal book about him or herself. It includes a series of exercises that present autism positively. They strike a balance between general facts, information about autism and personal information, covering the strengths an autistic person may have as well as the difficulties they may face. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI am Special can be used with young people over the age of ten years. Not only is it an excellent source of information for the autistic child; it can be the first step in a process of counselling or psychotherapy or the springboard for a discussion group on autism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Vermeulen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853029165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853029165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.06h x 7.82w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2001 pg. 109","brand":"Peter Vermeulen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978718871807,"sku":"9781853029165","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d02be20-8b37-4883-a3a0-9beecd131f72.jpg?v=1683242758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-am-special-peter-vermeulen-9781853029165","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
