Travis shares tips and strategies to help improve your child's autism services to ensure they get what they need out of their treatment plan. He stresses the importance of treating social thinking like an adaptive living skill so your child will have the ability to communicate with others both verbally and non-verbally as an adult. This book will be useful in helping you advocate for your child. Travis shares his experiences with self-advocacy and talks about how you can train your child's staff to help them best meet your child's needs. Travis shares that communication is seven percent verbal and ninety-three percent non-verbal. Most services are designed to work on verbal or adaptive living skills but ignore non-verbal or social thinking skills. Travis teaches the reader about social thinking and how it comes into play in all social aspects of life. Using the Facebook green dot as an example Travis will break down a social skill and show you the verbal and non-verbal components of each skill. Verbal means adaptive and non-verbal means social thinking. Travis will provide valuable insight as an adult with Asperger Syndrome into how the mental health system and service providers can best help your child with autism providing the insurance industry allows them to do so. This book examines how to save America money in the long run by providing early intervention and non-verbal social skills training to people with autism spectrum disorder. This read is sure to help parents learn to be the best advocate they can be for their child on the autism spectrum.
