Product Description
For many years, the diagnosis of autism has centered on a child s social interaction--from poor eye contact to lack of language skills. Although the autism community agrees that early intervention is key to effective treatment, the telltale signs of this disorder usually don t reveal themselves until the age of two or three. But what if it were possible to detect the potential for autism within the first year of life? That is the basis of Osnat and Philip Teitelbaum s book, Does Your Baby Have Autism?
Does Your Baby Have Autism? first provides general information about the history of autism, followed by a discussion of The Ladder of Motor Development. Each of four chapters then examines one motor milestone--righting, sitting, crawling, or walking--contrasting typical development with atypical development so that it s easy to recognize unusual patterns of movement. Also included is a unique thirty-second Tilt Test--easy to perform at home--which helps reveal a balance problem characteristic of children with autism. Finally, parents are guided in finding professional help for a child whose motor skills may indicate a problem.
There is a way to detect signs of autism early in a child s life, when therapy can do the most good. Does Your Baby Have Autism? holds the key to a brighter future for children and their families.

A Must Have! August 1, 2008

Parents are in important resource in the filed of Autism. Many Parents of children with Autism are the first to notice that something is different about their children, but are often ignored or made to feel like they are stupid, inexperienced or overreacting. This book provides parents and professionals with a solid manner to detect abnormalities before the age of one. I firmly believe that this can lead to a better means of communication between Doctors,Researchers and Parents. Accomplishing such a collaboration is a large step toward understanding Autism. Anyone who has a child with Autism, works in the field or would like to know more about Autism should own this book!!!!
An excellent concise read for parents of typical and autistic babies alike July 28, 2008
This new model for early diagnosis probably won't go mainstream until the research also includes numbers for babies who display early motor issues but *don't* go on to develop autism. In the meantime, however, it provides very valuable insight into how complex skills such as righting, crawling etc can be further broken down into sequential actions. Certainly the findings reported in this book could create an avalanche of inquiries at pediatric offices but at least in our case, we are very much reassured by better understanding how motor skills are developed normally as contrasted to abnormal/impaired development. Given how easily the information can be digested, it should probably be a mainstay of the pediatric office... either in book form or as short educational video clips looped on a flat panel. If nothing else, it will give the average person a better appreciation of why autistic children are developmentally delayed and perhaps help foster a culture of acceptance.
Motor development and early autism June 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is a "must read" for health care professionals, other persons who work with infants and parents of infants, and parents who are concerned about their baby's motor development. The authors offer motor development clues gleaned from videotapes of children diagnosed with autism to help parents and others identify possible early autism in infants. Delightfully drawn graphic illustrations enhance the easily understood narrative. The authors identify numerous autism information and therapy resources.
A new system for detecting the earliest signs of autism - in a baby June 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This new system for detecting the earliest signs of autism - in a baby - offers a brand new theory and comes from a husband/wife team who have worked for nearly two decades to develop ways of detecting signs of potential autism in a child. By expanding patterns of sitting, crawling and walking and comparing them with those of children later definitively diagnosed, they present both general information about autism's causes and progression and a survey of tests the parents can easily conduct to help define and identify early autism onset with respect to their children.
