ReviewsThis is one of those books that I wish I'd had seven years ago at the beginning of my autism journey. [...] Chapters include information on IEPs, therapy, handwriting, fine motor skills, autism, sensory issues, behavior, attention/organizing, and learning disorders. [...] I usually like to mention both pros and cons, but I honestly don't have cons about this book. Even the price is reasonable. When considering price, I often like to compare the price to something else I could buy with that money, or what I would have to pay for services or classes to learn about that topic/get the help I need. Fifteen dollars is not much to spend to get an incredible amount of help for your child with special needs."- Jenny Herman, Encouraging Others in the Special Needs Trenches "Packed with ideas for all things school-related, this is the handbook that will answer your questions about school accommodations, working with school personnel for government-assisted programs, autism, sensory processing disorder (SPD), learning disabilities, ADHD, individual education programs (IEPs), behavioral concerns, fine motor delays, trouble with transitions, homework concerns, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and more. In her introduction, Koscinski explains that she hopes this book give readers a feeling of empowerment. She provides up-to-date and comprehensive information and a lot of strategies, always explaining the why behind each technique. This book is a resource you will refer to frequently as your student with special needs progresses through school or as new needs arise or behavior issues crop up." -FriendshipCircle.org, 5 Books for Those Supporting Individuals with Autism and Sensory Issues
