The Incredible 5-Point Scale - Second Edition
**The Significantly Improved and Expanded Second Edition**
Assisting Students in Understanding Social Interactions and Controlling Their Emotional Responses
This much-awaited, second edition of the wildly popular Incredible 5-Point Scale is, as the title suggests, "significantly improved and expanded." Using the same practical and user-friendly format as the first edition, the authors let readers benefit from work done with the scales over the past 10 years, to result in refinements to the original scales, now considered "classics" in homes and classrooms across the country and abroad, as well as lots of new scales specifically designed for two groups of individuals: young children and those with more classic presentations of autism, including expanded use of the Anxiety Curve.
This is a must-have resource which shows how the use of a simple 5-point scale can help children understand and control their emotional reactions to everyday events. The book shows how to break down a given behavior and, with the child's active participation, develop a scale that identifies the problem and suggests alternative, positive behaviors at each point of the scale.
This simple strategy helps children, particularly those with autism or Asperger's, understand social encounters and control their emotional and behavioral reactions.
Whether the problem is inappropriate touching, obsessions, yelling, hitting, or making hurtful statements to classmates, this clearly illustrated book shows how to define the problem in increments on a 5-point scale and, just as important, suggests alternative, positive behaviors at each point on the scale.
