Great Resource

This book has great information. Not only do you get background on how ASD children learn, but you get everyday tips on things you can do with your child to help develop their communication and language. I am not sure yet if my child is Autistic or just language delayed, but this book has given me tools I can use. As an educator, I know early intervention is so important. This book is great for anyone wanting to support their child's communication skills and language learning.
