Although these products are not created by Centering on Children, we consider them to be important tools for use by professionals and parents working and/or living with individuals with autism, particularly within the Structured Teaching Approach as created and taught by the North Carolina TEACCH program.
What Does It Mean To Me?
A workbook explaining self-awareness and life lessons to the child or youth with High Functioning Autism or Asperger's / Structured Teaching Ideas for Home and School.
We think this book will be a powerful tool in the hands of both individuals with high functioning autism and those who work with them. It's just filled with good, practical ideas presented in a very user friendly format.
Ron Larsen, Centering on Children
This user-friendly tool can help your child or student understand about having autism, as he is prompted on every page to fill in, circle, or add relevant details, thus creating an individualized book about him.

It can be shared with siblings, grandparents, cousins, and other family members, as well as teachers and therapists. In addition to the workbook for kids, it is full of structured teaching ideas for teachers and parents. It is a thorough introduction to autism for a new teacher, and provides many practical ideas for new and veteran teachers of autistic students.
Pat Rakovic, a speech therapist from the Rhode Island Autism Project wrote that "The explanation of structured teaching is super and aids in instructing others that might not be as well versed in TEACCH to the whys and hows of structured teaching. Examples are given in the book that aid both the novice as well as the more experienced. The book is set up with worksheets for the student followed by information for parents and teachers. There are drawings and quotes by children with HFA or Aspergers. I loved the idea Catherine Faherty had of having the student circle the page numbers that are important to the child. This will give us even greater understanding of the student. The author's insight into the subject matter and the respect and honor she has for the illustrators and people she quoted in the book further enhance its readability. I would very much recommend the purchase of this book!"
