Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew
combines wisdom from a student with autism, his family, and his educators
throughout the continuum of their school years from pre-school to higher
education, delivered through analogies, metaphors, and hard facts. It is
written with humor and easy-to-remember phrases so the reader can learn to hear
the voices of our autistic students and respond in ways that are meaningful to
them. The book starts with clear succinct points that lay out a guide map, then
clarifies the essential information to help teachers offer their best work for
their students' growth. Through numerous and invaluable examples, Ten Things
provides insight that can be used to generalize an understanding of the
VERY different way the brain of a person with autism is wired. The Ten Things laid out in this book are critical to
teaching students with ASD. But you'll find much that benefits all children as
well. Recalling my own 40-year career as a teacher, a learning specialist, and
a district supervisor of special education teachers, I highly recommend Ten
Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew for your educational
resource library. Eileen Harrison Sanchez, MEd, LDTC, NCED-R PreK - 12 Special Education Supervisor (retired), Princeton
