Reviews for The Everyday Autism Handbook for Schools: 60+ Essential Guides for Staff

A welcome 'toolkit' of enlightening guidance and practical strategies valuable to teachers, parents and practitioners across education, health, and social care. This book is divided into easy to find (and read) 'guides' across themes with associated activities and techniques; all anchored in evidence-based practice. Content such as the 'tip's, monologues and frequently asked questions' also illuminate the child's perspective, their needs, as well as their abilities. -- Dr. Aine de Roiste, Psychologist and Senior Lecturer in Social Care in the Department of Applied Social Studies, Munster Technological University, Cork, Ireland.
