Book Synopsis
Dr. Temple Grandin gets to the real issues of autism--the ones parents and teachers face every day. Autism and Education: The Way I See It is a concise handbook that illustrates what Dr. Grandin has found, from her experience, to work in the field of education.
Topics include:
Temple offers helpful do's and don'ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips, all based on her insider perspective as well as a great deal of research. Most excitingly, she argues that raising and education for kids on the autism spectrum must focus on their long-overlooked strengths to foster their unique contributions.
Review Quotes
"Grandin (The Autistic Brain)...delivers an insightful and pragmatic guide to helping autistic children thrive...The authors pinpoint guiding principles (high expectations yield results) and brass-tacks recommendations (strategies for teaching turn-taking or mastering basic life skills) combine to create a program that's thoughtful and comprehensive, but not overwhelming. For educators or parents of autistic children, this will be a valuable resource." -- Publishers Weekly
A valuable tool for both parents and educators centered on Grandin's personal experiences and her many years in the fields of autism and behavior science. This is essential for parents with an autistic child. -- Library Journal, * Starred Review *
