Product Description

Ellen Notbohm's first book, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, was a shot heard throughout the worldwide autism community, branded by readers as "required reading for all social service workers, teachers and relatives of children with autism." Now, for the teacher in all of us comes Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew. The unique perspective of a child's voice is back to help us understand the thinking patterns that guide their actions, shape an environment conducive to their learning style, and communicate with them in meaningful ways. Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew affirms that autism imposes no inherent upper limits on achievement, 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 "teaching moment" in the life of these children we love.

Review
"Ellen provides an excellent perspective for those involved with educating children on the autism spectrum. Her work is practical, concise and brimming with common sense. I particularly applaud her emphasis on raising our expectations for autistic learners and getting to know children with autism as people, rather than diagnoses or problems."

Customer Reviews

Autism/Asperger
This is a very informative, easy to read book. I think all teachers (and parents) with Autistic/Aspergers kids should be required to read this!!

about aspergers
This is an excellent and informative book but I feel that it deals more with the child with Aspergers syndrome than the more severe Autistic children that I have come across as a specialist teacher of young children. It is a must to buy for this area as it explains how to manage and encourage such children in a positive manner with expectations of success unlike the usual presumptions of failure one encounters in life.It would have been better if this had been re-titled Aspergers rather than Autism as it is such a wide spectrum.

good book for teachers and parents
Good for information on autism for any person who has an autistic child or is working with a student with autism.
