2006 ASA Literary Work of the Year
We are two sisters who have a lot to say on the topic of ASD! Having
lived, and worked with Autism Spectrum Disorders foremost in our minds
over the past two or three decades, we have a lot of information
and resources to share.
Emily is the mother
of a son with autism and now a professional in the autism field. Barbara
is an autism expert with more than thirty years of experience in
education. We have written our book together to personally guide each
reader (professionals, families and others) through the process of
understanding Autism Spectrum Disorders, how ASD affects your loved one,
student or client, and what you can do about it.
Each chapter provides essential information, guidance and resources needed at different stages in the process of:
Getting a diagnosis
Dealing with the impact of it
Understanding and obtaining in-depth, meaningful assessments
Obtaining supports and services
Developing individualized programs at any age or stage of life
Working effectively as teams, assisting families
Transitioning
from one phase of life to another.
If you are thirsty for
information, our book is like drinking from a firehose! We invite
you to take little sips, referring to various chapters and
revisiting them time and again.
We discuss many
topics about ASD on this website.
