Review Quotes

"Autism Activity Book for Kids is versatile, comprehensive, effective, and fun! Highly recommend for parents and professionals who support kids with ASD. I even keep a copy in my car for quick on-the-go interventions!" --Julie Santorella, LCSW

"A thoughtful book written by a mother and therapist as an additional tool for parents and caretakers for children not only on the spectrum, but also willful and spirited preschool/early elementary-aged kids. The colorful and artistic exercises involve little to moderate preparation for parents of children on the autism spectrum and also have helpful tips for common points of frustration. If you are looking for a friendly, practical resource for your child for an addition to your collection as a therapist, I recommend this book." --Christine Stern, MD FAAP, board certified pediatrician

"This is a beautifully presented activity book. It covers a variety of topics that target many of the challenges those in the ASD community face. There is an excellent variety of games, strategies, and activities to engage young students and their caregivers in learning. One of the highlights of the book is the parental tip footnotes, which thoroughly explain why the activity was chosen as well as how to extend the lesson to real-life situations. I highly recommend this wonderful resource!" --Richard M. Field, speech-language pathologist
