By Lisa Welch
This book offers a neurodiversity-affirming speech, language and communication therapy, with accessible strategies that nurture new skills by embracing the characteristics and behaviours that are core to each individual child.

The book includes accessible information on both language and play development, and how this can be used to create child therapy ideas that nurture new skills in a safe environment, encouraging all children to reach their full potential. By discovering each child's play passions, the reader is shown how these can be incorporated into a neurodiverse-affirming therapy that regulates the nervous system, allowing learning to occur within a happy brain. Aimed at teachers, therapists and support staff in early years childcare settings and schools, as well as parents and carers looking for accessible strategies to support their child at home

The Neurodiversity Affirmative Child Autism Assessment Handbook
By Dr Maeve Kavanagh, Dr Anna Day, Davida Hartman, Tara O'Donnell-Killen, Jessica K Doyle
Based on new and emerging clinical research, this book is here to guide you through creating a neuro-affirmative child autism assessment process for your practice. Moving away from a deficit-based medical approach to child autism assessment (identification), this comprehensive and detailed handbook covers the most up to date research and best practice.
Created to encourage and empower clinicians to make a paradigm shift to a more neurodiversity-affirmative approach, this book acknowledges the challenges of working within a system that is inherently deficit based and provides practice points and clinical reflections on how to embed neurodiversityaffirmative principles in their individual practice. This handbook is essential reading for those involved in assessing, as well as for those working with Autistic children more generally.
Including helpful tips and methods that can be used during the identification process, this handbook also includes lived experiences of Autistic children and case studies, and perspectives from an OT and SLT, so clinicians can gain a much deeper understanding of the young people they are working with.
It also includes guidance for post-identification support and provides a clear roadmap for what happens next.

DSM-5-TR (R) Casebook and Treatment Guide for Child Mental Health
By Cathryn A. Galanter, Peter S. Jensen
The singular aim of this book is to help clinicians navigate the complexities of diagnosing and treating mental disorders in children and adolescents. Approximately 20% of children and adolescents in the United States have diagnosable mental health problems-an issue exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Of those children in need, 50% do not receive mental health care. Building on the 2017 DSM-5 edition, this guide helps bridge the gap between research and practical application. It incorporates updates and advances from DSM-5-TR as well as evidence-based assessment and treatment of children’s mental health. The book is designed to be an indispensable reference and a teaching tool for trainees and clinicians of child and adolescent psychiatry, including mental health counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurse clinicians.

DSM-5-TR (R) Clinical Cases
By John W. Barnhill
This presents patient cases that exemplify the mental disorders categorized in DSM-5-TR, bringing DSM-5-TR alive for teachers and students of psychiatry, psychology, social work, nursing, and related mental health and healthcare fields. With chapters that correspond to the main DSM-5-TR diagnostic categories (i.e., the first 19 chapters in Section II), this book guides the reader through the complexities of clinical assessment and the many types of contextual information needed to obtain a full diagnostic picture of a patient. Every feature in the book helps to bridge the distance between the formal classification and the real-life presentation of patients.
DSM-5-TR (R) Pocket Guide for Child and Adolescent Mental Health
By Robert J. Hilt, Abraham M. Nussbaum
This 5th edition provides an incredibly useful evidence-based, consensus-driven framework for diagnosing mental illness in individuals. When working with children and adolescents, it is insufficient to match the exhibited mental distress to a classification in DSM-5-TR; great care must be given to understanding the cultural, family, gender/sex, and other factors impacting a child’s mental health today. That is what makes this so necessary, it serves as a pragmatic translation of DSM-5-TR to clinical practice to provide the most effective treatment. The diagnostic interview remains the focus of this volume, but the information has been updated to reflect the changes in DSM-5-TR. Readers of all skill levels and experience will find practical guidance for 15-, 30-, and 45-minute versions of the interview.

No One Taught Me How to Be a Man
What a Trans Man's Experience Reveals about Masculinity
By Shannon T.L. Kearns
An exploration of manhood and what it takes to be a good man in a world of toxic masculinity, from trans author Shannon Kearns. No one ever taught Shannon Kearns how to be a man.
As a trans man, Shannon was presumed female at birth and constructed his relationship with masculinity after his transition, using bits and pieces he gathered from the world around him: male behavior, pop culture portrayals, and cultural expectations for men that seemed to be in the air he breathed.
But rather than separating him from the experiences of cisgender men, Kearns's self-taught approach to masculinity connected him with other men in surprising ways. As he lived more and more in the world of men, he discovered that cis men's relationship to masculinity was similar to his. No one taught them how to be a man either. They worried they were doing it wrong. And they were almost universally worried about being "found out," exposed as not being a "real man."
Kearns takes masculinity head-on. He uses his experience to "see" gender in ways cis men cannot, making masculinity visible. Without arguing that masculinity should be done away with, or that there is no real difference between men and women, he bravely points toward a form of manhood built for the well-being of the world, and for people of all genders.

Rethinking Chronic Absenteeism
Why Schools Can't Solve It Alone
By Sarah Winchell Lenhoff, Jeremy Singer
Sarah Winchell Lenhoff and Jeremy Singer reframe chronic absenteeism as a symptom of a complex set of factors affecting the student, family, and community rather than simply an accountability metric for educators, schools, or districts. Lenhoff and Singer identify chronic absenteeism-often defined as missing 10 percent or more of instructional days-as an issue of social and economic inequality as much as an educational one, and they explore the role of K-12 schools and other organizations in solving this growing problem. The book is based on research conducted over eight years as part of a researchpractice partnership with urban school systems in Detroit. Their results show the challenges of relying on school-based approaches to improve attendance, particularly in high absenteeism contexts where the causes of absenteeism are due to inequalities that are outside the scope of schools or districts to address. Lenhoff and Singer caution that school-based measures like punishments, parent fines, and even rewards can reinforce the social inequality that makes accessing school difficult. They stress that schools and districts should address factors within their purview: change the role of attendancefocused staff to act as navigators to help families remove barriers, improve school-home communication, help families access resources, and focus on building and sustaining positive relationships with students and families.

Students, Schools, and Our Climate Moment
Acting Now to Secure Our Future
By Laura A. Schifter, Jonathan Klein
Laura A. Schifter and Jonathan Klein highlight the many ways in which K-12 schools and students have tremendous potential to advance solutions on environmental issues, and they provide frameworks for enacting change. Schifter and Klein demonstrate how the effects of climate change intersect with US public schools on multiple levels-for example, schools must prepare students to face the challenges of an uncertain future, accommodate disruptions brought about by extreme weather conditions, and evaluate their systems' energy consumption and carbon emissions. Through rousing case studies of climate efforts in schools across the United States, Schifter and Klein show what it means to center children and young people in climate solutions and illustrate how educators and institutions can take comprehensive action. They share step-by-step plans for applying the lessons of these situations to future action, rooting their frameworks in the climate action plan of the Aspen Institute's K12 Climate Action Commission and the Coherence Framework developed by the Public Education Leadership Project at Harvard University. The tools and key takeaways offered here can help raise climate literacy among students and also foster a climate collaboration mindset within districts, inspire community mobilization toward equity and sustainability, and enact policy change to shift society and mitigate the climate crisis.
