WELCOME TO DADS AND AUTISM
LEARN HOW TO STAY IN THE GAME |
| One of the greatest disappointments about children with autism is their inability to connect with other people. This is especially heartbreaking for the parent child relationship and fathers can be particularly affected. They have no idea how to "fix" the situation and connect with their child. As a result this inability to connect is
probably the greatest contributing factor for the widely accepted statistic of an 80% divorce
rate. But there is hope. A recent study from the University of Florida found that fathers who were trained to connect with their children reaped great benefits. The number of intelligible words the children spoke increased by more than 50%. The comprehensive program in Dads And Autism first illustrates exercises designed to bring your worlds together, to make your presence, your voice, and your face relevant to your child. By using proven strategies of ABA combined with Greenspan's mantra towards developing a connection with your child, specific Discrete Affectionate Trials or DAT's are illustrated for you to work on in the comfort of your home. Designed as a handbook, Dads And Autism provides tools to help develop proper greetings, goodbye's, hugs, kisses and play interaction. There are also specific strategies to curb children of dangerous habits like bolting or the deaf run. These are the very things that can weave the family fabric back together and help elicit verbal communication. |
