Tackling Misconceptions – A Parental Perspective; Pete Elwick and Amandine Mourière
Description
Pete Elwick – grandad to a young boy with autism and Community Liaison Team Leader at the Institute – and Amandine Mourière – Training & Accreditation Team Leader at the Institute – put forward responses to some of the misconceptions around Intensive Interaction such as:
“Intensive Interaction…is that the thing where you imitate everything?”
“It’s NOT about us being directive; it’s about giving control to our child.”
“Intensive Interaction is effortless.”
“Intensive Interaction can only be done in a quiet place.”
“It is a nice thing to do but it’s not really teaching ….”
“Some don’t like doing Intensive Interaction …”
Intended to be a useful guide for parents and carers it is an engaging read based on the background research into Intensive Interaction and Pete’s own experience.
