Review Quotes

As a special needs teacher I found the pocket guide incredibly helpful. It covers a wide variety of content including behaviors and learning, social skills, anger management, desensitization to loud sounds, sensory development, the autism brain, and even careers for adults with autism. I am very familiar with Dr. Temple Grandin's other books, and this is essentially a condensed sampling from them, but this one I keep in my desk for quick access. - Academic's Choice Award Reviewer See more at: http: //www.academicschoice.com/books/temple-talks-about-autism.php#sthash.uKthwkqp.dpuf
