Intensive Interaction Classroom Guide
Social Communication Learning and Curriculum for Children with Autism, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties, or Communication Difficulties
Introduction
This new edition is a practical guide to implementing the Intensive Interaction Approach in a school setting and provides essential technical support to teachers and practitioners from nursery to Post-16 who wish to embed it into their classroom practice.
Target Audience and Principles
Geared mainly towards supporting children with communication and social-communication differences arising from autism, learning difficulties, or complex needs, the principles apply equally to students of all levels of cognitive ability who struggle with social situations and emotional or sensory regulation.
Content and Contributions
The Intensive Interaction Classroom Guide brings together contributions from experienced teachers, teaching assistants, and headteachers who reflect on their practice and share practical tips to facilitate social-communication development within a nurturing classroom environment. Offering practical advice on curriculum and pedagogy and drawing on case studies, authors address key themes on a practical level, while grounding their discussions theoretically and methodologically.
Additional Information
This second edition includes information on neuroscience and neurodivergence, which supports the use of Intensive Interaction in a teaching and learning context. This perspective will be valuable for all teachers and practitioners, whether in specialist or mainstream settings supporting individuals with social-communication differences. Filled with practical advice and techniques, this book will be essential to anyone working in classroom settings with students who experience social-communication difficulties or need a nurturing approach to emotional well-being.
