Brilliant book! It's full of so many tips and ideas when looking after a child with Autism. Much of the book I already knew but there was still so much I never thought of or different ways to tackle a situation. So much of the book you can easily adapt to your situation be it working as a teacher or TA or perhaps even a parent at home.

Things a very well explained but not in terms that will go straight over your head. Sometimes that is the worse thing when reading a book! They go in far too deep with huge explanations that are near impossible to understand unless you have a doctorate in said field but this book won't.

I do highly recommend it.

Very useful book aimed at parents and teachers of primary school age students and above. Well worth returning to later. Good list of strategies in chapter 12.
