Navigating the Social World by Jeannie Mcafee
Paediatrician Jeanie McAfee originally created this user-friendly social curriculum for her daughter Rachel, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s at age ten. Since then, it has become a staple for parents and educators. It addresses the most urgent problems facing those with Asperger’s Syndrome, high-functioning autism, and related disorders. Dr. McAfee covers how to increase communication skills, recognize and cope with emotions, recognize and prevent stress, develop abstract thinking skills, address behavioural problems, and much more. Tasks are broken down into small steps, repeated until they are mastered, then generalised. Helpful handouts, templates, and forms will help keep teachers and learners on track.
After reading this book you can immediately start a program at home or school"—Dr. Tony Attwood

Dr. Jeanie McAfee was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, and received her B.S. and medical degrees from the University of California at Davis. After completing an internship in paediatrics at Children’s Hospital, Oakland, she spent several years providing general paediatric care to underserved children, and three years working with children of U.S. servicemen in Germany. Combining her medical background as a paediatrician with her understanding of her daughter’s specific needs, Jeanie developed one of the most effective social curricula ever created. She strongly believes that the more parents and educators work together to share ideas and experiences, the better we will be able to help our students, clients, and loved ones with Asperger’s Syndrome, high-functioning autism and related disorders to live happier and more productive lives.
