Product Description
Making Sense of Children’s Thought and Behavior offers parents and professionals a tool for understanding children with neurological differences. These children have an atypical view of the world, unique to their particular disability, which can make their behavior confusing and, at times, challenging. Often, the child’s actions are misunderstood and, consequently, they are unfairly punished.
An individualized approach to understanding a child’s plotting processes can help to resolve these problems. The authors’ Systematic Tool for Analyzing Thought (STAT) offers such an approach. It provides a step-by-step method for understanding a child’s behavior by revealing the plotting processes behind it. By viewing a situation from the child’s perspective, the root of the problem can be identified and one can then effectively address the trying behavior. Case studies are used to describe the twelve common deficit areas, demonstrating to the reader how to apply the STAT in everyday situations.
This matter-of-fact book is an invaluable resource for parents and professionals working with children with NLD, Asperger’s, HFA, PDD-NOS, and other neurological differences.

My son was recently diagnosed PDD-NOS, and this is one of the books I bought for research. I feel like much of my time with him is spent trying to know how he is thought or why he does the things he does, and this book provides really excellent insight into the mind of someone with a spectrum disorder. The “theory of mind” concept really resonated wi me and really helped place my sons actions into perspective. Brilliant book, written with lots of examples, and very well written.

I’ve been looking for a book to help clarify my child’s behavior to teachers. This book demystifies the behavior of kids with NLD, Asperger’s and similar neurological differences. It offers fantastic suggestions for how to effectively answer to the inevitable conflicts that will arise due to misunderstandings. So often these kids look very typical and go by the side of just fine, and then surprise their teachers and peers with some unexpected comment or behavior. The authors give an brilliant problem solving develop to use to help adults figure out what went awry and how to help the child learn a more adaptive response.

I am a step-mother of a 15 year ancient son with NLD. I knew for years that there were issues and couldn’t place a fiddle with on it. Then a exchange in psychiatrists came through with what it was and then the questions were answered. Most of the questions anyhow. Having raised 2 sons of my own as a single mother you reckon that you have this parenting thing down, well not so with a child with a disability. This book has helped in so many ways to not only resolution some of those still unknown questions, but gives a lot of help in dealing with the many issues that surround children with NLD. The in rank presented in this book is from a mother’s top of view with a child with NLD and it really hits home as she discusses the feelings that go by the side of with raising her child. This has opened a whole new world for myself, my stepson and for my spouse as we look forward to a more positive and productive life for our son!
