Linda's first book: The 5P Approach
Practical Behaviour Management Solutions for Children and Teens with Autism – The 5P Approach is Linda's first book and was published in 2009. This book gives an introduction to the now well established 5P Approach. The book provides an invaluable resource for professionals and parents working with children and young people with autism. Starting with an explanation of autism and how autistic thinking affects behaviour, the book provides information on what to do to prevent behaviour issues from arising and how to tackle issues as they arise.
The book includes a number of photocopiable worksheets and resources to aid the process. A sample of these worksheets can be downloaded from this website by clicking on the worksheet links.
About this book:
Children and young people with autistic spectrum disorders present many challenges to the people who care for them. 'Difficult' or challenging behaviour is often encountered on a daily basis, and it is easy for both parents and professionals to feel completely overwhelmed by its sheer range and complexity. Where do you start? What happens when, in managing one set of problems, another gets worse? Is there some way to tackle difficulties before they get out of hand, or even before they arise?

The answer can be found in The 5p Approach. This is set out and fully explained in Practical Behaviour Management Solutions for Children and Teens with Autism. This book answers these questions and provides practical solutions that really work. It offers a complete framework for behaviour intervention which has its roots in prevention and good practice, with an emphasis on promoting and encouraging the development of skills and independence, through Profiling, Prioritising, Problem analysis, Problem solving and Planning.
From identifying behaviour and understanding the root causes, through to planning and implementing a comprehensive intervention programme, this book is packed with practical strategies and expert guidance. While clearly defining the steps you need to take, it also allows for flexibility according to need and individual contexts.
The book outlines a framework for behaviour intervention. Although there are some practical examples and useful tips, it does not simply provide a list of difficult behaviours and instructions on what could be done to change them (i.e. if he or she does this – then do this).
Instead it sets out a clear pathway to follow, adopting right from the start a practical solution-focused problem-solving approach. The five-step pathway takes you from identifying behaviour and understanding the reason it occurs through to planning and implementing a comprehensive intervention programme.The approach therefore provides a clear process to follow, one step at a time, and a framework for collecting and using all the information needed for each stage. Each ‘P’ represents a stage or step in the process:
1 = Profiling
2 = Prioritising
3 = Problem Analysis
4 = Problem Solving
5 = Planning
The 5P Approach aims to provide a complete package which can be used time and time again, and which provides a solution whatever the circumstances. While clearly defining the steps you need to take, it also allows for flexibility in the range of materials provided which can be used according to need and individual situations.
In addition to the resources within the book, Linda now offers a number of practical courses and workshops
