A classroom-based intervention approach for high-functioning students ages 8–11, this innovative guide gives special educators and other service providers ready-to-use lessons that promote cognitive and behavioral flexibility in everyday situations, from compromising with peers to handling schedule changes. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers and front-line professionals, the 27 lessons in Unstuck and On Target!

  • target specific skills every student needs to learn more effectively, participate successfully in the classroom, reduce stress, get along with others, set and achieve goals, problem solve, complete tasks independently, and more.

As a clinical psychologist working primarily with children on the autism spectrum, I have found this book to be incredibly helpful for my patients and their families. The book is filled with exercises and activities that are easy to put into practice for not only clinicians, but also parents and teachers. The activities are tailored specifically for children on the autism spectrum - meaning they feature simplified language, lots of pictures and hands-on exercises, easy-to-teach "scripts" (my favorite is the "Plan A versus Plan B"), and many activities that are actually quite engaging and fun for the kids. It's not one of those books that drones on and on about theory - this is all about practical ways to help kids who have problems with flexibility. Overall, a wonderful resource that I keep coming back to- highly recommend!

This book has helped me on so many levels help my son who has autism. I can take him shopping or take him to school; have him try new foods at a restaurant and even have him do something totally off his schedule and not have the meltdown explosive behaviors that he use to have. One of the things that this book teaches is that if I want him to be more flexible then I have to model what that looks like for him. I've learned to help him realize that when he is stuck that there are coping strategies that he can use. My son is so much more relaxed and I am so proud of how he is able to breathe and calm himself down rather quickly.

I recommend this book to anyone who has a child in need of being more flexible and goal directed!!
