Road to Independence: Independence Skills Training for Special Needs Children (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595312252)

Brenda Batts, Behavior Consultant, and mother of Alex, an Autistic son, shares her proven behavior management and potty training techniques, through her book, Road to Independence. She has compiled over 12 years experience in the rearing of her son and through behavior training for thousands of special needs clients (Autism, PDD, Asperbergers, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Fragile X, etc.). Brenda relates to you as parent and professional of those special children as she takes you down a path, well-traveled, that is filled with innovative tips and suggestions along the way. The central focus of this writing is to help you empower your child to become more independent. What has emerged from her vigilance to develop effective interventions for Alex is a battery of innovative behavior skills training that she shares with you. Brenda has been very successful in helping resolve very difficult children that were previously considered unreachable, and in some cases, un-teachable. When asked how she knows what to do to help children with severe and highly usual conditions, she simply replies that "the idea just came to me." Perhaps another explanation is that these ideas are messages from God. Follow her along this journey and you be the judge.
