Intensive Interaction and Sensory Integration

This small guide offers a simple and practical way to create a favorable environment for children and adults with autism spectrum disorders and significant intellectual disabilities. The Intensive Interaction method allows establishing contact and maintaining emotional communication even with those who cannot express their feelings at all. The book demonstrates how, combined with an approach based on sensory integration, Intensive Interaction helps a person with ASD to eliminate "sensory chaos," focus, and maintain connection with the world and other people. Such a friendly environment creates the necessary foundation for the implementation of developmental and educational programs. The book is intended for psychologists, educators, doctors, and other specialists, as well as parents and relatives of people with autism.
