"Drawing on a wealth of experience and a command of the
scientific literature, Rogers, Vismara, and Dawson have crafted a
unique and valuable guide. The book is filled with wisdom,
practical advice, immediately usable tools, examples, and summaries
of the science (to which the authors themselves have contributed
greatly). It will be immediately useful to practitioners who
currently provide parent coaching, as well as coaches in training.
While it focuses on autism and other developmental disorders, I
expect that this book will become a go-to resource for anyone who
works with families of young children in home settings."--Samuel L.
Odom, PhD, Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute,
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"The unique voice of the authors comes across--confident in the
ability to help, but also realistic; flexible and creative, but
also clear and organized. This book exudes enormous respect for the
irreplaceable role of parents in the lives of their children, and
empathy for the difficulties that parents of children with ASD can
experience. It describes the significant contribution of the coach
as a well-traveled guide who can provide the parent a secure base
for joint, collaborative exploration. The authors emphasize the
importance of the parent coach's creativity, flexibility,
commitment, and humility, and they embody these characteristics
themselves."--David Oppenheim, PhD, School of Psychological
Sciences, University of Haifa, Israel
"This book provides systematic strategies for coaching parents to
support learning in young children with autism. It emphasizes how
to teach parents basic behavioral principles, and includes specific
examples, helpful checklists and tables, and detailed ways to
address the challenges of this work. This how-to manual on
collaborative coaching is a rich, supportive introduction to this
important approach to working with young children with
autism."--Catherine Lord, PhD, ABPP, George Tarjan Distinguished
Professor of Psychiatry and Education, David Geffen School of
Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles
"An easy-to-read, user-friendly guide for early intervention
practitioners. The book demonstrates how to move from a
practitioner-child focus to a focus on supporting caregivers to
promote children's learning within and across their daily
activities. The authors bring together research about adult
learning and family-centered coaching with their experiences as
developers of the highly regarded Early Start Denver Model. The
book provides a parent coaching toolkit for ASD that is equally
relevant for preservice students and for practitioners who have
been working with young children with ASD and their families for
many years."--Dathan Rush, EdD, CCC-SLP, Director, The Family,
Infant, and Preschool Program (FIPP), North Carolina-
