Facilitating Early Social Communication Skills: From Theory to Practice

Facilitating Early Social Communication Skills: From Theory to Practice by Pamela Rollins. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781937473846.

This text presents a developmental social-pragmatic approach to facilitating language and social communication. Consistent with the SCERTS model (Social Communication Emotional Regulation and Transactional Supports; Prizant et al.), it makes a major contribution to the training and support of young children on the autism spectrum, ages 3-5. While the focus is on the preschool environment, suggestions are provided for how to extend the approach to the home and other environments where the child spends time.
