Summary: Great strategies!
Review: After hearing Susan Thompson Moore speak about her book I had to buy it. It covers just about every academic and social difficulty you can think of. The author easily explains to the reader what Asperger Syndrome is and how it effects the individual through language development, social interaction, sensory integration, motor functioning, and cognitive processing. Many positive strategies are provided on organizational and curriculum accomodations as well as developing social skills and team work. I have enjoyed reading this book and can see how easily the strategies can be put into place. I also like the charts and graphs that can easily be reproduced for my own use. I recommend this book for parents with children with AS in elementary school and younger (we need to plan!) and well as elementary teachers with special needs kids in their classroom.

Summary: Every AS parent should have one of these
Review: Since my son's diagnosis at the end of first grade, I've been purchasing book after book, trying to educate myself. The realities of being a parent of an AS child means that you have to educate, not only yourself, but your child's teachers. This book is a great way to go about it.
Reading through this book, you not only get overviews of the major difficulties that AS children have in their lives, you also realize what challenges they have in the classroom that might not have occurred to you. I knew my son had problems with reading comprehension, even though he had no problems reading the words. This, among other things, is covered very well in the book.
Along with outlining the problems that our children encounter, it also gives strategies on how to overcome them within the classroom. The book also gives recommendations of programs or other materials that can be purchased to help facilitate our children's education.
Along with the OASIS 'bible' to educate yourself, you should purchase this book to educate your teachers. You won't regret it.
