Completely revised and updated, this book focuses on sensory perceptual problems in autism as identified by individuals on the spectrum. Despite frequently being identified by individuals with autism as one of the main problems they face, sensory perceptual issues are too often overlooked by professionals. This book covers the sensory perceptual experiences and sensitivities seen in autism and the cognitive differences caused by them. It considers assessment and intervention, with practical recommendations for selecting appropriate methods and techniques to eliminate the problems and enhance the strengths. Brought up-to-date with current research and understanding, this book enables teachers, parents, professionals and individuals with autism to fully understand and address sensory perceptual differences in autism.
