Editorial Reviews

"Grandin...delivers an insightful and pragmatic guide to helping autistic children thrive. Grandin, who is autistic, recalls how an early education program markedly improved her speech skills as a child—before that, she’d sometimes resort to screaming to communicate—and draws on that experience to advocate for an early-intervention, child-centered approach to education. The author’s pinpoint guiding principles (high expectations yield results) and brass-tacks recommendations (strategies for teaching turn-taking or mastering basic life skills) combine to create a program that’s thoughtful and comprehensive, but not overwhelming. For educators or parents of autistic children, this will be a valuable resource. — Publishers Weekly
