Out and about : preparing children with autism spectrum disorders to participate in their communities / Jill Hudson, Amy Bixler Coffin. Autism Asperger Pub Co., 2007.

Description: "The focus ... is on Òthe every day,Ó how to enable and support individuals on the autism spectrum to participate, to the maximum extent possible, in the community around them. In this simple book, the authors provide a framework for identifying the areas where an individual with ASD may need support to participate more fully and successfully in community activities. The framework, created as a Blueprint to be filled in, depending on the child and the outing being planned, lists 10 areas identified in best practice as effective types of support for children with ASD. Areas include waiting plan, communication, social, visual, hidden curriculum, sensory, motivation, behavior, transition, and siblings or other students."--Publisher's
