Making Sense of Children's Thinking and Behavior: A Step by Step Tool for Understanding Children Diagnosed With NLD, Asperger's, HFA, PDD-NOS, and Other Neurological Differences
Product Description Making Sense of Children's Thinking and Behavior offers parents and professionals a tool for understanding children with neurological differences. These children have an atypical view of the world, unique to their particular disability, which can make their behavior confusing and, at times, challenging. Often, the child's actions are misunderstood and, consequently, they are unfairly punished.
An individualized approach to understanding a child's thought processes can help to resolve these problems. The authors' Systematic Tool for Analyzing Thinking (STAT) offers such an approach. It provides a step-by-step method for understanding a child's behavior by revealing the thought processes behind it. By viewing a situation from the child's perspective, the root of the problem can be identified and one can then effectively address the difficult behavior. Case studies are used to describe the twelve common deficit areas, demonstrating to the reader how to apply the STAT in everyday situations.
This practical book is an invaluable resource for parents and professionals working with children with NLD, Asperger's, HFA, PDD-NOS, and other neurological differences.

Great book! November 18, 2008 This book should be in everyones library that is dealing with a child on the autism spectrum! It defines how they think differently from the normal neurological child. Excellent book!
Have lots of books on NLD - Like this one best so far August 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I can't put this book down. I've read it two times already, and plan to read it again and again. This book is unlike all the others I've read on NLD. It breaks down all those "quirky things" about NLD into their own chapters, providing real-life stories, and giving suggestions on how to handle situations that fall under each NLD characteristic. Other books explain NLD, which is good and necessary, but this book goes farther - it puts you into the mind of the NLDer. I am grateful to the mom and the therapist who collaborated on this book. I do plan to read it again - as soon as I get it back from my son's school teacher! :) (P.S. This book is an easy read - 14 short chapters, but full of "a-ha" moments.)
