This book is an essential, comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to make a real difference in the life of people at the early stages of communication. With the welcome addition of a chapter relating to Autism and using Intensive Interaction with more able people this second edition of the Intensive Interaction handbook promises much and delivers more! -- Susi Stephenson This book is aimed at teachers, support staff, speech and language therapists, carers and parents who look after and support people with profound and complex learning difficulties, and autism.

Person
Dr. Dave Hewett has been working in the field of special education for 40 years. 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.
