She presents a positive history of educators and leaders who improved our understanding of autism. There is also a great emphasis on developing a child's strengths and not becoming locked into labels."<br /> --<strong>Temple Grandin</strong>, author of <em>The Autistic Brain and Thinking in Pictures</em><br /> <br /> "This is an exceptional book about exceptional minds by an exceptional teacher. It insightfully shares 40 years of practical day to day experience working in the trenches of the classroom, not the ivory tower. Those classrooms have been elementary and secondary, special education and regular with all ages and disabilities. It properly promotes strength-based education which focuses on needs, not labels. It advises how to "teach to the talent" and how to use handicaps or deficits as teaching opportunities. As a side benefit it provides the history and evolution of autism spectrum disorder in as succinct a manner as any I have ever seen. If I were to recommend one book on strength-based education to an established or beginning teacher in any public or private elementary or secondary classroom with special needs children with a variety of learning or other disabilities, this would be the book." <br /> --<strong>Darold A. Treffert</strong>, M.D. The Treffert Center for Exceptional Minds</p><br>
