Industry Reviews

Justifiably heralded as a 'pioneering' book... The main message is that specific teaching and care approaches must take account of both autism and learning styles. * Times Educational Supplement *
The book is practical, easy to read and interspersed with illustrative vignettes. * Autism *
This book sparkles. Rita Jordan's style is warm and accessible and therapists working in this area may use it in counselling parents, and recommend it to families... The book is threaded with practical suggestions and new ideas to take into schools. * Bulletin of the Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists *
