Day by Day
Raising the Child with Autism/PDD

Joan F. Goodman and Susan Hoban

This informative videotape presents a realistic look into the daily lives of two families of preschool children with pervasive developmental disorders. Emphasizing the coping skills and practical strategies utilized by their parents, the tape also explores the frustrations and satisfactions in raising special-needs children. It provides instructive insights for anyone interested in an honest and revealing portrayal of home life with difficult preschoolers, as well as those interested in children with autism/PDD.

The accompanying manual provides further information on the topics covered in the video, suggests issues for discussion, and includes discussion questions. It is a valuable resource and a helpful guide for use of the video in groups.
