Created as a guide to help families create an interactive, intentional, and purposeful learning environment at home, HIGH 5 brings this approach to school and therapy modalities. The guide: creates structure, shows examples to build upon, provides support, and promotes accountability all within a budget-friendly mindset. Designed with all kids in mind, it specifically targets families with kids on the spectrum. This book is interactive, informative, and showcases how you can take simple activities and build upon them while learning the benefits to each interaction. The title HIGH 5 came from eliciting "high fives" from our son, Ryan, who struggled with eye contact and social engagement. This spearheaded a strong foundation of engagement and further building blocks for purposeful play and learning. After getting an autism diagnosis, the author was lost about where to begin. She wants families to feel supported and know they have a direction in which to go with this book as an excellent navigation tool to start their journey.
