Description
Description
Dr. Temple Grandin discusses the real issues that parents, teachers, and kids face every day. Here is a concise handbook that illustrates what Temple has found to work in the field of education. Topics include:
- The importance of early intervention
- Teaching for different types of thinking
- Developing talent
- Motivating students
- Keeping high expectations
- And much more!
In these helpful pages, Dr. Grandin offers dos and don'ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips, all based on her insider perspective and extensive research. Interestingly, she argues that education for kids on the autism spectrum must focus on their overlooked strengths to foster their unique contributions to the world.
As Publishers Weekly noted "For educators or parents of autistic children, this will be a valuable resource."
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Grandin (The Autistic Brain)...delivers an insightful and pragmatic guide to helping autistic children thrive...The authors pinpoint guiding principles (high expectations yield results) and brass-tacks recommendations (strategies for teaching turn-taking or mastering basic life skills) combine to create a program that's thoughtful and comprehensive, but not overwhelming. For educators or parents of autistic children, this will be a valuable resource." -- Publishers Weekly
A valuable tool for both parents and educators centered on Grandin's personal experiences and her many years in the fields of autism and behavior science. This is essential for parents with an autistic child. -- Library Journal, * Starred Review *
