Helping Your Child with Autism: A Home Program from Chinese Medicine
This book and DVD package offers comprehensive, "how to" instruction to parents on how to implement a program in their home that has been shown to improve symptoms of autism.  The core part of the program is a fifteen-minute massage that parents give their child once a day for at least five months.  The book and DVD give detailed, easily understood, step-by-step instructions for parents in the massage as well as information from Chinese medicine to help them understand their child's autism.  The program has been shown to help children sleep better, have less aggression, transition more easily, decrease self-injurious behaviors and improve eye contact, language and social skills. This massage can be given to typically developing children as well as children on the autism spectrum.  Download pre-testing tools here for use before starting massage:  Parent Stress Index, Sense and Self-Regulation Checklist, and Developmental Checklist
