      September 12, 2006: This book is filled with practical approaches to designing and implementing effective interventions for school-aged children with autism spectrum disorders. The style is succint and emphasizes direct examples that can be immediately implemented into an individual child's intervention program. I found chapter 15, 'Developing Useful Interests: Broadening general intersts, cultivating narrow interests,' to be of particular merit. The book is divided into two main sections: School and Home. Both sections have invaluable advice to parent and teacher and are designed to allow for a smooth transition from school activities to home interventions. The chapter on sibling issues is also very enlightening and emphasizes the inherent socialization skills that 'neurotypical' siblings can model for their autistic family member(s). Overall really outstanding. Emphasizes the practical over the academic a quick, effective, and inspiring read. Hats of to the authors!!!

      November 14, 2005: This book is a must-have both for parents and educators helping children on the spectrum! As a parent of a preschooler with Autism, the information in this book really helps set up the child (& teachers) for success. I plan on using this as a reference for many years to come.
