I am so surprised by this book! It has activities that not only teach our children the skills they need to function in society and as adults but also teaches parents and caregivers the skills we need to function better as caregivers!

Excellent book to help family members and educators to engage and connect with children with autism. Loved the age specific ideas and activities. A valuable resource to have at your disposal.

This book is wonderful. It is a tremendous resource and provides a wealth of information on autism. The book is meticulously organized and aesthetically pleasing. There are many activities described in explicit detail that can be done with children that have autism. Highly recommend this book.

This book is so great I had to share it with a friend. Ordered another copy today. The information is helpful to both parents of children with special needs and all parents in general. I recommend this book to anyone.

I have a stepchild who has (as described by school) ‘autistic traits’, and there is literally a game or more for each and every one of his difficulties. This is like having 90 tools in the tool kit, really easy to understand and genuinely fun and engaging ideas. I think this would be helpful for any child, regardless of autism. I cannot wait to use these to aid the homeschool, a lockdown LIFESAVER!
