Overview

Winner of an iParenting Media Award and Finalist in the 2006 ForeWord Book of the Year Awards! Ellen Notbohm's first book, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, was a shot heard throughout the worldwide autism community. Now, for the teacher in all of us comes Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew. The unique perspective of a child's voice is back to help us understand the thinking patterns that guide their actions, shape an environment conducive to their learning style, and communicate with them in meaningful ways. This book affirms that autism imposes no inherent upper limits on achievement, that both teacher and child 'can do it'. It's the game plan every educator, parent, or family member needs to make the most of every 'teaching moment' in the life of these children we love.

Reviews

Ellen provides an excellent perspective for those involved with educating children on the autism spectrum. Her work is practical, concise and brimming with common sense. I particularly applaud her emphasis on raising our expectations for autistic learners and getting to know children with autism as people, rather than diagnoses or problems.

Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You K new breaks new ground in teaching children with autism spectrum disorders. A 'must' for school districts around the country, their educators, parents and PTAs. Charles D. Hammerman, Managing Director, The Burton Blatt Institute, Syracuse University
