Feeling that this was a 'specialist' book on a subject I probably know as much about as the average person, I started reading, expecting it could be hard goingNothing could be further from the truth. From the opening page I was completely absorbed...I found myself living in the particular child's world during their chapter, seeing the two-way learning process slowly unfold, and the incredible interaction taking place...If you have the slightest interest in autism, this is the book for you. -- Chiltern View Magazine

With his honest assessments and creative interventions, the author presents a wonderful array of practical teaching ideas.
