Parents of children with special needs deserve their own time and space to rest, heal, and refuel their energy. Fighting Autism provides that time and space. Steve Walsh, a black belt, martial arts instructor, and parent of two children on the autism spectrum brings Zen philosophy and parenting together to help caregivers take care of themselves. Fighting Autism provides readers with psychological and philosophical strategies that center around mindset change and acceptance. Parables and poetry guide readers through difficult and painful subjects and contain lessons that can apply to any parent of any child. Personal stories of a decade of raising two children with special needs establish common ground and illustrate Walsh's transformational approaches to dealing with parental stress. Parents of children with autism or Asperger syndrome are a group we must not ignore. We have seen a rise in the diagnosis of autism, especially in boys. Whether you believe in the theory of an epidemic or an epidemic of misdiagnosis, either way, at the end of the day, there are parents struggling to keep their families, homes, jobs, and dreams intact as they care for children who have a different way of interacting with the world. Steve Walsh employs love and empathy, meditation and centering, exercise and healing. All the while, readers know he has tremendous love, respect, and admiration for his own children as well as all children and adults with autism. His examples are always conscious of the effort special needs children put into getting through their day, appreciative of their individual habits and idiosyncrasies, and respectful of their right to not change, to not seek a cure for how they are. As readers come back, again and again, to the tactics and strategies in the book, they will find new utility in every chapter. The guidance to achieve mindset change; the tactics of changing focus, declining to compare, and opening our minds to the way children engage with the world; the invitation to be an instructor at all times by modeling strength, practicing patience, and teaching joy; and the rejection of parental guilt by understanding that we walk a path that no one else has walked-travel where no one else has been-in our own relationship with our unique child...all come together in a powerful approach to the art of parenting children with autism. Parents do not need to be martial artists to fall in love with this book. Martial artists do not need to be parents of children with special needs to appreciate its lessons. Fighting Autism has the power to change the way society approaches and perceives people with autism and the parents who love them.

Highlights the importance of classroom discourse to any second language teacher education programmeReflective practice is central to teacher education and development, yet is something that many teachers struggle with. Can reflective practice be refocused by asking teachers to place classroom interaction and discourse at the centre of their reflections?In this accessible textbook, Steve Walsh explains why it is essential to put an understanding of classroom discourse at the centre of any second language teacher education programme, whether it is a formal programme under the guidance of a teacher educator or a more informal, self-directed programme of teacher development. He argues that in order to improve their professional practice, language teachers need to gain a detailed, up-close understanding of their local context by focusing on the complex relationship between teacher language, classroom interaction and learning. In order to do this he revisits and reconceptualises the notion of reflective practice by giving teachers appropriate tools which allow them to reflect on and improve their professional practice. This thought-provoking book not only stimulates debate on classroom discourse and reflective practice, but also contains practical exercises and advice which will be invaluable to both new and experienced language teachers as well as to researchers in applied linguistics.Task commentaries, a glossary of technical terms and an annotated list of further reading are also included.

In any classroom, it is through language interaction that students are able to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and understand communication. This title takes a look at the complex relationship between language, interaction, and learning to help teachers have a fuller understanding of interaction and in doing so, promote a fuller understanding of their effectiveness as teachers.
