The Incredible 5-Point Scale: Assisting Students with Autism First Edition by Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis

The Incredible 5-Point Scale: Assisting Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Understanding Social Interactions and Controlling Their Emotional Responses.

The Incredible 5-Point Scale has sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide and has been used by educators, psychologists, therapists, and caregivers to teach the social and emotional concepts needed for successful social interaction and emotional regulation.

This book uses a practical and user-friendly format to assist teachers, therapists, practitioners, and caregivers in using a simple 5-point scale to break down social and emotional concepts and teach this information in a highly systemized manner. In this 2nd edition, Buron and Curtis include examples of work done using the 5-point scale over the past 10 years. The result includes refinements to the original scales, now considered "classics" in homes and classrooms across the country and abroad, as well as plenty of new scales specifically designed for two groups of individuals: young children and those with more classic presentations of autism, as well as an expanded use of the Anxiety Curve. This edition also includes a list of goals and objectives related to incorporating scales in students' IEPs.

Free downloadable content includes blank scales, small portable scales, and worksheets for easy duplication. As in their other writings, the authors emphasize the importance of self-management and self-regulation, two evidence-based practices.
