Colours bring order to chaos for autistics
"I've spent so many years involved in autism education that I've tuned into how these children learn," says author Adele Devine. She is generous also, for the book comes with a CD-Rom that contains resources that can be printed and mounted on card. And why? To help autistic children create order in their frequently over-complicated worlds.
The author points out that research using eye-tracking technology has shown that autistic children are drawn to looking at shapes and colours more so than their peers. On the basis of that research, combined with personal experience (she works as a special needs teacher), the aim of the book is to encourage greater independence and fulfilment for autists in all learning environments.
