5.0 out of 5 stars
A "must have" book for people working with autistic children,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teaching Children With Autism: Strategies for Initiating Positive Interactions and Improving Learning Opportunities (Paperback)
For years the Koegel's have produced and documented many of the current "best practices" used by people working with autistic children. This inexpensive paperback is an excellent summary of their contributions, for example self-management, natural settings, generalization. (my background is that of a child psychiatrist specializing in work with autistic children)

1.0 out of 5 stars
A textbook for professionals and teachers,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Teaching Children With Autism: Strategies for Initiating Positive Interactions and Improving Learning Opportunities (Paperback)
As a parent with a young child diagnosed with autism, I ordered this book hoping it would help me develop strategies in working with our child. I found it extremely difficult to read (and I am an avid reader who has been reading every recently published book on the subject of autism). The text is geared much more towards providing information for trained professionals, NOT for the average parent!
