This book affirms that autism imposes no inherent limits on achievement, and that both teacher and child can do it. It's the game plan every educator, parent, or family member needs to make the most of every teachable moment in the life of these children we love.</p> <b>Helpful chapters include: </b><br> - Learning is Circular: We are all both teachers and students.<br> - We are a Team: Success depends on all of us working together.<br> - I Think Differently: Teach me in a way that is meaningful to me.<br> - Behavior is Communication: Yours, Mine and Ours.<br> - Teach Me How to Fish: See me as a capable adult and hold that vision.<br> A bonus section includes ten more essential, thought-provoking things to share with young people on the spectrum as they cross the threshold of adulthood, and an appendix of more than seventy questions suitable for group discussion or self-reflection.
