Small Miracles Day by Day: A Guide for Parents of Individuals with Low Functioning Autism

Rating:
Summary: Miracles Within Reach!
Review: In this unique book, Dara Lane explains in readable detail and a genuine voice the techniques that have allowed her to teach her son, who has severe autism, to master tasks of daily living. She offers encouragement, caution, and practical tips that work to teach skills in dressing, toileting, basic communication, and other essentials. Ms. Lane shows love for her son and caring for everyone who's attempting this enormous challenge. Her book is a valuable work that I wish I'd had while raising my daughter, who has a similar disability, through her toddler years and childhood.

Summary: Help for parents of low-functioning autistic children
Review: This is an extremely well-written book. As a parent of a child with low-functioning autism myself, I have read many books. However, this one really stands out for me. It is written by a parent who has dealt with low-functioning autism in her life. It is written from the heart by a parent to parents. This book gives us the information that we need, fact based and simple to read. It is well researched, written with a sense of humor which is much needed some days. Excellent book for parents wondering ok.. I have the diagnosis where do I go from here, how do I help, how do I reach my child. I give it 5 stars!!
