- Turn autism around : an action guide for parents of young children with early signs of autism / by Barbera, Mary Lynch,1965-author.; Grandin, Temple,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Developmental delays and signs of autism usually show up before 18 months of age. This book is for parents of young children aged one-to-five years who are passionate about helping their child as well as learning how they can return their lives to as much normalcy as possible. Turn Autism Around delivers a new message: autism and other developmental delays can be remediated, and in some cases, delays can be caught up altogether, if parents intervene while the child is young. This book introduces a novel approach to teaching kids with developmental delays that uses the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) but marries it with a positive, child-friendly methodology that any parent can use-whether or not their child has delays-to learn communication skills, socialization strategies, as well as tackle sleep, eating, toileting, and behavior challenges in a positive, effective, and lasting way. This book will educate parents that they can't afford to wait and worry about autism as well as empower them to regain hope and take back control with simple practices they can implement themselves-even 15 minutes a day-to dramatically improve outcomes for their children"--- Subjects: Autistic children; Behavior therapy for children.; Behavioral assessment of children.; Parents of autistic children.; Verbal behavior.;

- Believing : our thirty-year journey to end gender violence / by Hill, Anita,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From the woman who gave the landmark testimony against Clarence Thomas as a sexual menace, a new manifesto about the origins and course of gender violence in our society; a combination of memoir, personal accounts, law, and social analysis, and a powerful call to arms from one of our most prominent and poised survivors. In 1991, Anita Hill began something that's still unfinished work. The issues of gender violence, touching on sex, race, age, and power, are as urgent today as they were when she first testified. Believing is a story of America's three decades long reckoning with gender violence, one that offers insights into its roots, and paths to creating dialogue and substantive change. It is a call to action that offers guidance based on what this brave, committed fighter has learned from a lifetime of advocacy and her search for solutions to a problem that is still tearing America apart. We once thought gender-based violence--from casual harassment to rape and murder--was an individual problem that affected a few; we now know it's cultural and endemic, and happens to our acquaintances, colleagues, friends and family members, and it can be physical, emotional and verbal. Women of color experience sexual harassment at higher rates than White women. Street harassment is ubiquitous and can escalate to violence. Transgender and nonbinary people are particularly vulnerable. Anita Hill draws on her years as a teacher, legal scholar, and advocate, and on the experiences of the thousands of individuals who have told her their stories, to trace the pipeline of behavior that follows individuals from place to place: from home to school to work and back home. In measured, clear, blunt terms, she demonstrates the impact it has on every aspect of our lives, including our physical and mental wellbeing, housing stability, political participation, economy and community safety, and how our descriptive language undermines progress toward solutions. And she is uncompromising in her demands that our laws and our leaders must address the issue concretely and immediately"--- Subjects: Abused women; Sexual abuse victims; Sexual harassment of women; Violence; Women; Women;
