Reviews:
“Destined to become a staple for those who love, live or work with
children with autism. The authors’ voices are authoritative and
comforting. Perhaps most importantly, they are spot on with the issues.
A toolkit packed with ideas, resources, suggestions, and a good dose of
encouragement, validation and yes: redemption.”
Jennifer McCammon, Publisher, Portland Family Magazine
“A
friendly voice offering parents and teachers immediately usable ideas
that emphasize the practical rather than the technical. Well organized
for quick reading, with major ideas preceded by helpful introductory
text. A great resource that parents and teachers should keep readily
available.”
Christine Hunt, MS, special education and resource teacher
“1001
Great Ideas goes beyond a list of things to do with your child who has
autism. The thoughtful comments about why these suggestions are
purposeful and valuable as teaching tools make this a must have for
families, childcare providers and special education professionals. The
insights the authors share throughout the book put the activities into
a real life focus for working with children on the autism spectrum.”
Nancy Seller, Ed.S., Education Division Director
“Great
book—couldn’t put it down. So many creative ideas, and all of them
detailed and easy to follow. I like reaching children through fun, so I
appreciated the suggestions for games, activities and specific reading
titles that we can go right to. The IEP suggestions are helpful for
both parents and school staff, the authors’ sidenotes about their own
experiences are insightful.”
Karla Mayer, MS, CCC-SLP
