Rebecca Moyes, a teacher, author, renowned lecturer, and mother of a child with Asperger's Syndrome, helps walk any regular education or special education teacher through the process of setting up a sensory-friendly classroom in this easy to use book. This is currently the only book that discusses the importance of data-driven strategies, and then helps teachers implement them!
