Steve has written ‘A Golfer\u2019s Guide to Education’, which is particularly useful for parents and teachers of ASD pupils\u00a0and those who struggle with socialisation and anxiety. You don\u2019t have to understand golf to enjoy The Golfer\u2019s guide but it uses golfing analogies to help the reader understand the\u00a0ways that these young people operate.<\/p>\n

‘Written in a humorous, warm-hearted style, Steve brings all the experience of his thirty years in<\/em>
\neducation to answer the question \u2018What works with ASD pupils?<\/em>\u2019 Phil, Teacher<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“A Golfer\u2019s Guide is a valuable \u2018how to\u2019 reference for teaching young people with autism. The author<\/em>
\ndraws on his extensive experience as a teacher in mainstream and special needs schools and<\/em>
\nprovides a useful reminder to all teachers of the core principles when engaging with young people<\/em>
\non the autistic spectrum.<\/em>
\nThe guide reminds professionals they can develop unconscious habits that focus on preconceived<\/em>
\nideas of what a young person should achieve. The author instead explores ways in which the teacher<\/em>
\ncan engage with the young person by sharing their interests, initiating a conversation to enter their<\/em>
\nworld and finding strategies to discuss the everyday problems they face, such as anxiety, or the need<\/em>
\nto always be in control.<\/em>
\nPresented in a novel format, the guide mirrors a round of golf with 18 holes of varying line and<\/em>
\nlength, rounded off with a visit to the 19th, each hole presenting thought-provoking and entertaining<\/em>
\nparallels between the game of golf and the art of teaching.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
