This 200 page user-friendly training manual is divided into two parts. Part One is a "short-course" on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) for people "in the trenches." Part two takes a "cookbook style" look at the art and science of paraprofessional support for students with ASD and those with other cognitive impairments.

Jam packed with examples, and summary "take home" messages, How To Be A ParaPro contains specific information on 4 separate categories of support: Peripheral, Direct Academic, Social/Play & Leisure, and Behavioral, as well as Data & Record-Keeping forms and ideas. Special features include a blueprint for determining the optimal level of caregiver support and ways to reduce prompt dependency, an abundance of reproducible record-keeping forms, and "how-to vignettes" to aid the application of skills.

This manual is a must have not only for para professionals, but for anyone who works closely with children with autism spectrum disorders, including: parents, teachers, administrators, speech language pathologists, etc.
