Picture's Worth
PECS And Other Visual Communication Strategies in Autism. Most young children with autism have significant delays in acquiring communication skills, a hallmark characteristic of autism. But with intensive early intervention and Applied Behavior Analysis techniques, children can be taught how to communicate successfully, even before they acquire the ability to use speech. A Picture's Worth examines the value of non-verbal communication strategies for children with autism, and presents the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) in detail. PECS is a communication system that allows a child to use a picture (or series of pictures) to express his needs and desires without a prompt or cue from another person.

Stuart Shanker Reframed: Self-Reg for a Just Society
Shanker explores self-regulation in wider, social terms. His previous books, Calm, Alert, and Learning and Self-Reg, were written for educators and parents. Reframed, the final book in the trilogy, unpacks the unique science and conceptual practices that are the lifeblood of Self-Reg, making it an accessible read for everyone. This book is grounded in three basic principles: there is no such thing as a bad, lazy, or stupid kid; all people can learn to self-regulate in ways that promote rather than constrict growth; and there is no such thing as a "fixed outcome." Only a society that embraces these principles and strives to practice them, argues Shanker, can become a truly just society.
