Summary:

Dr. Temple Grandin gets to the real issues of autism--the ones parents and teachers face every day. Autism and Education: The Way I See It is a concise handbook that illustrates what Dr. Grandin has found, from her experience, to work in the field of education. Topics include: How higher expectations lead to higher results How to develop talent The importance of practical problem-solving skills How learning never stops And much more Temple offers helpful dos and don'ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips, all based on her insider perspective as well as a great deal of research. Most excitingly, she argues that raising and education for kids on the autism spectrum must focus on their long-overlooked strengths to foster their unique contributions.
