520 |a A new type of personal guidebook designed specifically for adults with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. Stuff You Need to Know features the Blended Icon & Text System (BITS) which melds specially designed icons with key vocabulary to help the reader decipher stories and prevent text overload. Using this system, reading comprehension has been shown to increase from a 3rd to 7th grade level. The guide covers 6 critical topics: Being Healthy, Personal Presentation, Time and Money Management, Emergencies, Personal Safety and Technology. These topics are illustrated by realistic peer stories that provide engaging learning points and are inspired by the author's years of experience through in-house and community training programs. The guide utilizes a manageable and respectful tone, synthesized suggestions, specialized glossaries, understandable answer keys and a personalized toolkit of activities to support independence, growth and personal awareness.
