Developing differently: A guide for parents of young children with global developmental delay, intellectual disability, or autism

Parenting isn't easy, and parenting a child with a global developmental delay, intellectual disability, or autism can be challenging. However, a lot of parenting strategies are straightforward once you get your head around them. With the right knowledge, environment, interactions, responses and understanding, you can help reduce your child's anxiety, build their confidence, and help them develop learning and communication skills.

This book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step parenting plan that will support you to embed good practices at home from day one. These strategies are designed to work across all neurodevelopmental conditions, and take into account co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, meaning none of the advice in the book requires your child to have a specific diagnosis. Also included are downloadable examples of charts, how-to guides for creating visual resources tailored to your child's individual needs, and bonus downloadable chapters on sleep and siblings
