In this simple book, the authors provide a framework for identifying the areas where an individual with ASD may need support to participate more fully and successfully in community activities.
The framework, created as a Blueprint to be filled in, depending on the child and the outing being planned, lists 10 areas identified in best practice as effective types of support for children
with ASD. Areas includewaiting plan, communication, social, visual, hidden curriculum, sensory, motivation, behavior, transition, and siblings or other students. For each area on the Blueprint,
parents, teachers, coaches, family members��nybody who lives or works with the child��ills in ahead of time the support that best matches the child�� needs for a given event. The hope is that
the specially designed Blueprint will become second nature to its users as they become more familiar with the areas of support the child needs in various situations.
