This is a great little book that gives a simplified explanation of special needs for younger children. Teacher Toad gives us 6 special lessons about the different sorts of problems some tadpoles can have... children with uneven development, children with hard to break habits, children who have problems socialising, children who are easily distracted, children who get obsessed with their hobbies, and children who jump to conclusions. In each one he explains what is going on and how the situation can be helped. That is two thirds of the book. The final third is the explanatory notes on special needs for parents and caregivers and notes on developmental differences, which makes it a handy little book for grown ups too. The author is herself diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and has two sons, one of whom is also AS and the other ADHD.
