Publisher's Synopsis
AUTISM DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A LIFE SENTENCE. Any autistic child or adult has great capacity to overcome their present limitations and be happy! Any parent, within their beliefs, does the best they can for their children, regardless of whether others think they are not doing the right thing. Autistic children and adults also do their best to feel present and close to those they love. And how they love! Stereotypes (isms) are important and interesting tools for interaction. Motivation is the key to access the learning potential. There is an ideal environment, ideal attitudes and techniques to experience optimism in working with children... And fantastic results. Parents are the best resource for their children, only they can love them so much to believe that they will achieve the best in life. Today the Autism Centre has 42 children enrolled between 2 and 14 years, a wonderful space where dreams are fulfilled and families have a new hope with their children. We are the only public centre in Brazil that offers 12 hours a week of care in the DIR/Floortime model.
