Review:
From the perspective of a parent of a child with autism, a former special education teacher, and a teacher educator, this book is terrific! The editors and authors did a great job of explaining the subtleties and the challenges of teaching children on the spectrum; and, all of them are highly respected leaders in the field. When I teach courses on autism, I will definitely use this book as my core textbook. --Pamela LePage, Ph.D., San Francisco State University

How much easier my life would have been if I had read this book during my teacher education classes years ago! This material bridges the gap between theory and practice for those who work with children on the autism spectrum, saving much trial and error. The Tips for Teachers are especially helpful. --Mary Schlieder, special educator and author, With
