Praise for 1001 Great Ideas for Teaching
and Raising Children with Autism

Genuine, commonsense advice that all parents and educators can quickly and easily use.

Temple Grandin, autism expert and self-advocate, and author of Thinking in Pictures and Animals in Translation

As a teacher, I have used this resource for years as children arrive with unique needs. It’s very useful not only to teachers but to families as well. It is a long book, more for the money I think. It’s complete. I especially liked the quick ideas.

K. M. Winick-Ford

Teachers, friends, and family of autistic children, read this empowering book crammed with information and solutions to make the lives of these children better. The authors have left no stone unturned.

Lorna d’Entremont, Vice-president of SentioLife Solutions, Ltd and editor of Special Needs Book Review

Just what the title says–a book rich with ideas on how to enhance skills and further the development of children with autism. Written for both parents and professionals, this resource contains an arsenal of ideas for home, school and therapy sessions.

Maureen Bennie, Director, Autism Awareness Centre, Inc.

I was amazed at the number and quality of ideas, and strongly recommend that parents read and apply the advice. I learned some really good ideas!

Tony Attwood PhD, author of The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome

A lifesaver for parents and professionals who interact with children with autism.
