Overview

Cassie Zupke has talked to a lot of people in her role as the founder and director of a non?profit education and support group for students with Asperger’s and high-functioning autism. She’s been a mentor, a trainer, and an advocate for children, having attended meetings, reassured parents and teachers, helped dry eyes and offered more advice than was probably wanted to the children’s parents and educators . She has initiated programs, thrown some of them out to build better ones, and helped other people launch their own. Over the years, Cassie has worked with untold numbers of families and educators. We Said, They Said is a compilation of what the parents and teachers have told her -- their fears, their concerns, and their passions – in order that all involved with the child’s care can understand the things that drive the others so, when they sit down to meet to decide how they’re going to best help their child, they can achieve their mutual goal.
