Editorial Review
A groundbreaking synthesis of developmental, relationship-based, and skill-based approaches, The SCERTS Model provides a framework for improving communication and social-emotional abilities in preschool and primary school students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families. Developed by internationally recognized experts, SCERTS supports developmental progress in three areas: Social Communication (communicating spontaneously and establishing relationships), Emotional Regulation (regulating emotional arousal to support learning and engagement), and Transactional Supports (elements that aid a child's progress as he or she works toward a goal).

Well worth the effort expended, IMHO.

2008-05-29
I welcome the background information that supports the SCERTS model. If your child's school is considering, proposing or does follow the SCERTS model it is gratifying to read the "philosophical foundations, core values and guiding principals" from which the model sprung.

There is a lot of information but it is carefully laid out to build a reader's comprehension. Example: It is made clear in the introduction of VOL I that "extreme emotional dysregulation" is what Moms (and Dads) everywhere call a "meltdown". From then on you are comfortable with that term and as an added benefit your knowledge fosters a higher level of communication with the professional staff and in formal documents regarding your child's education.

I will admit to reading the Introduction and skipping over to VOL I Chapter 6 Continuum of Current Intervention Approaches and the SCERTS model. (How SCERTS compares to other educational approaches.) Whatever order you chose I feel confident in recommending that this be read by parents as well as professionals.

From VOL I, Chapter 1, page 1:
"We believe that an effective program for a child with ASD requires the expertise of a team of professionals working in a careful, coordinated manner in partnership with parents and family members."
and
"We have made very effort to make this manual user-friendly and accessible for professionals, paraprofessionals, and parents. However, we also believe the reader must make an investment in understanding the rich theoretical and research foundations of the model to apply it effectively. Although we have infused the manual with helpful examples and creative activities, the strength of the SCERTS Model is in the integration of understanding a child in the context of his or her family and the daily activities and transactional impact of people and learning supports that become critical influences on the child's development in everyday experiences."

Dry reading

This book is very dry. It is uninteresting, but packed full of information. It gives a lot of background before it gets to the point.
