Incredible 5 Point Scale: The Significantly Improved and Expanded Second Edition

Description: Incredible 5 Point Scale: The Significantly Improved and Expanded Second Edition; Assisting Students in Understanding Social Interactions and Controlling their Emotional Responses Paperback – August 29, 2012 by Kari Dunn Buron (Author), Mitzi Curtis (Author) This much-awaited, second edition of the wildly popular Incredible 5-Point Scale is, as the title suggests, "significantly improved and expanded." Using the same practical and user-friendly format as the first edition, Buron and Curtis let readers benefit from work done with the scales over the past 10 years, to result in refinements to the original scales, now considered "classics" in homes and classrooms across the country and abroad, as well as lots of new scales specifically designed for two groups of individuals: young children and those with more classic presentations of autism, including expanded use of the Anxiety Curve. Another welcome addition is a list of goals and objectives related to incorporating scales in students' IEPs. Also, a free online downloadable content, which includes blank scales, small portable scales and worksheets for easy duplication is available. As in their other writings, the authors emphasize the importance of self-management and self-regulation, two evidence-based practices. Review I'm a long time fan of the 5-Point Scale. In five words, it's respectful, thoughtful, flexible, versatile, and practical. In a few words, it's a classic instructional tool. This second edition is as beautifully organized as the first; easy to read and packed with new insights and ideas. It's proof that even a classic, like the original Incredible 5-Point Scale, can be both timeless and timely! A great resource just got better! --Carol Gray, author of Social Stories and Comic Strip Conversations Supporting emotional regulation has become a critical priority in effective programming for students with ASD. The Incredible 5-Point Scale was one of the first practical supports to address this great need. In this second edition, Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis have once again provided us with a critical tool to help all partners recognize and teach students to become aware of their state of regulation, and, therefore, to help all students to be more available for learning and engaging. --Barry M. Prizant, PhD, CCC-SLP, director, Childhood Communication Services, and adjunct professor, Center for the Study of Human Development, Brown University If you want to teach a child social and interpersonal abilities and emotional self-control, this book will become your primary resource in the classroom and at home. The strategies are simple, clear, flexible, and fun, and are based on the authors' increasing practical experience. I particularly appreciated how the activities can be personalized include graphics and humor, and combine social and emotional themes. The scale is genuinely incredible. --Tony Attwood, PhD, director, The Minds and Hearts Clinic, Brisbane, Australia, and author of The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome Supporting emotional regulation has become a critical priority in effective programming for students with ASD.
