Your expertise needed to compile a manual for church volunteers - on autism....

[Guest guest]

I have been asked to write a BASIC manual for churches to use to help " train " or

" educate " their volunteers who work with children and youth who have autism

spectrum disorders.

I would like everyone who has some experience in this area - to send me a top 5

list of some BASIC tips and techniques that works on your children - or

children you work with.

I have a little section on the BASICS of ABA --- but they are needing some tips

and techniques. Most of the volunteers in churches that we train - have never

heard of autism -- and they have like 3 or more kids with autism in their Sunday

School classes and they are totally dumfounded but want to teach them and work

with them. So some factoiods about autism spectrum disorders --- so they can

recognize things like " he's about to blow " - from over stimulation, etc....

What you would like someone to know about autism and how to work with your

child.

Remember - these are not trained teachers, they are volunteers in churches who

know NOTHING about autism or how to teach or work with a child with autism.

I need to keep the manual basic and simple. Something they can pick up and read

and apply.

Every child is different --- but think of the 5 things about how to handle/work

with YOUR child with autism or if you are a professional - 5 things about the

kids you work with --- and beam me those things I can compile to help the

volunteers we are training...

I am compiling a resource section as well --- so also beam me a couple of BASIC

references for Autism/ABA that the volunteers can use to research or study

further... I have a ton - but maybe some of you have some I don't know about!

I need to have this done by August 5th....

Please help out if you can!
