Self-regulation in Everyday Life: A How-to Guide for Parents (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780968446683)

Heather MacKenzie, Ph.D., is a speech-language therapist and educator who has spent a large part of her career developing and implementing approaches for enhancing learning in children. Her focus is on translating current research into sound clinical practice. Her Learning Preferences and Strengths model is designed to determine each child's learning preferences and strengths and then 'harness' them to improve the child's learning and development. That model was introduced in Heather's first book, Reaching and Teaching the Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (2008). Her second book, One Story at a Time (2009), focuses on how to plan, implement and evaluate shared storybook-based intervention with children. Heather has written two other books, The Autistic Child's Guide presenting spark* and The Autistic Child's Guide Elementary version (spark*EL). The spark* model has been received very positively by teachers, clinicians and parents and is being used internationally. Heather was prompted to write a book on self-regulation for parents of young children - this is the newest book - Self-regulation in Everyday Life.
