Beautician Autism Friendly Training - Jan Luck - Bog

Autism is a complex disorder. As we go through our everyday lives, our brains continually collect information about the world around us through our senses. In autism, the senses may be over or under processing the incoming stimuli. People with autism are not able to make sense of the incoming sensory information. As a beautician, your challenge is two-fold: to meet the client's grooming needs and to do that in a non-traumatizing way. With 3.5 million Americans identified as being on the autism spectrum there is a good chance that all beauticians and barbers will serve clients with these characteristics. Whether you are a professional cosmetologist or a parent who has decided to take on this task at home with your own children, the practical suggestions in this book should prove helpful.
