The reader can locate a topic and study it briefly or deeply, according to available time and need. Most importantly for both parents and teachers, this book won't waste your time. Parents and professionals share a need for practical, rather than theoretical, advice. This book provides just that. I was so taken with the good, creative information in this book that I have already asked Rebecca to present at my next conference. May Rebecca's book ease your educational burdens, as she has done for the fortunate families she has known since her child was diagnosed.'from the Foreword by Susan J Moreno, President and Founder of MAAP Services, Editor of The MAAP, and parentThis book provides practical, hands-on strategies to teach social skills to children with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome.
