Thinking Person's Guide to Autism

The Thinking Person's Guide to Autism (website & book) helps people with autism & their families make sense of the bewildering array of available autism treatments & options, & determine which are worth their time, money, & energy.  The book, which evolved through information posted on the website, covers a wide range of nuts-and-bolts subjects, from strategizing toilet training and planning fun family outings to helping helping students cope with bullying.  This book serves as a good resource for anyone involved in supporting students with autism.  It provides helpful, positive, pragmatic, and evidence-based practices that parents and educators both will value and appreciate.

The autism team will have copies of this book in our lending library within the next couple of weeks.  Let us know if you want to borrow a copy for a few weeks to review prior to purchasing your own copy. In the meantime, go to the Thinking Person's Guide to Autism Facebook page and/or blog and check out these valuable and useful resources.
