Its simplicity and effectiveness has been one of the major themes in the widespread practitioner dissemination that has taken place during the last twenty years. Despite the human simplicity of the approach, Intensive Interaction relates to, or is influenced in practice by, a wide range of interconnecting theories and academic standpoints. With contributions from leading authorities, Dave Hewett provides a comprehensive and detailed description of the theoretical landscape of a now established methodology. The most prominent related theories and issues are reviewed, with Intensive Interaction set within their contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIssues covered include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe approach within education and the curriculum \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntensive Interaction within adult services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects on organizational change and development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeurology and learning outcomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntensive Interaction and the Central Triad of autism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmotional learning and development outcomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdoption of Intensive Interaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding a timely theoretical and academic overview to Intensive Interaction practice, this book marks a substantial theoretical waypoint to future development of interactive approaches generally.

He was headteacher at Harperbury Hospital School throughout the 1980s, where he and the team worked on the development of Intensive Interaction, producing the first publications and first research on Intensive Interaction, resulting in his doctorate. With Melanie Nind he produced the first Intensive Interaction book in 1994. Since 1990 he has been an independent consultant, continuing to publish extensively and work on the development and dissemination of the approach. Dave also publishes and gives courses on challenging behaviour issues, though as he maintains in the challenging behaviour section of this book, 'behaviour difficulties are communication difficulties'. It is therefore not a separate topic. He is now director of the Intensive Interaction Institute, travelling and broadcasting the Intensive Interaction message increasingly worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.4 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50489615089901,"sku":"9780857021717","price":152.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/intensive-interaction-theoretical-perspectives-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
