The only guide you need to read on the Intensive Interaction approach returns for its second edition, this time with its founder, Dave Hewett, as the Editor.

The Intensive Interaction approach has spread around the world and has been hugely influential in developing and teaching communication techniques with individuals who have severe learning difficulties and autism.

This straightforward, no-nonsense handbook contains:

-        2 new chapters: The Intensive Interaction Outcomes Reporter; and Autism and Intensive & Intensive Interaction and more able people;

-        photo stories demonstrating the approach in practice;

-        links to external videos presenting the photo stories in greater depth.

More information on the Intensive Interaction community and approach can be found on dedicated social media pages.
