FABULOUS BOOK!  May 11, 2011

I love this textbook. It's an "easy read" and it has helped me understand my son much better. The textbook lists examples of situations that children with certain disorders/conditions experience (a light bulb went off for me, it was so important to understand how the condition affects my child's experiences), and also provides suggestions for helping the parent and teacher work more effectively with the child are included. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with this abstract world that is so important to the success of their child.
