This is one of those books that I wish I'd had seven years ago at the beginning of my autism journey. [...] Chapters include information on IEPs, therapy, handwriting, fine motor skills, autism, sensory issues, behavior, attention/organizing, and learning disorders. [...] I usually like to mention both pros and cons, but I honestly don't have cons about this book. Even the price is reasonable. When considering price, I often like to compare the price to something else I could buy with that money, or what I would have to pay for services or classes to learn about that topic/get the help I need. Fifteen dollars is not much to spend to get an incredible amount of help for your child with special needs. - Jenny Herman, Encouraging Others in the Special Needs Trenches
