This book is a great starting point and a good strategy reminder for any teacher, but especially for teachers that don't not have any experience teaching students with Asperger syndrome or High-Functioning autism. (Although it could be applied to any student in many different settings and at any age!). The content of the book in divided in 10 useful simple strategies. Each strategy is presented with an example and the reasons why it is important to use it. I would also recommended it to parents that need to give an orientation to the teachers of their sons or daughters.

I love this resourse it had a lot of great ideas. My suggestion would be to read it before you give it to you educators and pick and choose what you think might work for you child. They were a lot of ideas using many different tackics and some will work better for some children then others. I did love the ideas and suggestions.

This is a very user friendly book for busy teachers and other school staff who advocate for children with Asperger Syndrome and related disabilities of all ages. The book outlines ten areas that must be addressed and provides excellent information and strategies for each area. This book could be used to guide training for school staff working with students with AS/HFA.

I found this book has useful ideas that are not difficult to implement. It provides lists and suggestions for addressing issues that many arise in the classroom. It is easy to forget that many ASD children need to be directly taught things that the average child would intuit. I think this would be particularly helpful when an ASD child is placed in an inclusion setting so the teacher could prepare for the child's needs. With any child you have to look at his or her unique needs, but this book has some very useful concrete suggestions on how to help an ASD child succeed.

This book has great informational resources for both classroom and parent help ! Extremely helpful for Asperger syndrome, Autism. I use alot of these stategies in classroom and home with all my children; children with mild disabities benefit from both structure and constant reinforcement. A Must Have book with tons of ideas.

I'm going to loan this to my kids' teachers. It's a quick read and that's good for a time-constrained teacher. It's a short book, I feel like not really worth the 15 or 20 that is being asked. However if I loan it to the teachers and they implement some of these ideas, it's worth the price!

Deffinatly an effective book if you need some help in comming up with a few classroom stratigies.
