The handbook emphasizes the importance of structure and routine, and the use of visual supports and reinforcers, to maximise the learning opportunities for persons with autism. It also explains how exercise can be used to teach concepts, language, social skills, psycho-motor goals, besides achieving motor skills development and body awareness.
