I want to provide some information about a new book called "Educate Toward Recovery: Turning the Tables on Autism" by Robert Schramm.

I found it a great reference that consolidates all the core concepts of the VB approach and is written in a very intuitive and accessible manner.

It can be ordered online at the following link:
www.lulu.com/Knospe-ABA

Here is some more information and a review provided by Robert; there is plenty more at the site above.

10 Things the Student with Autism Wishes You Knew

(...and it makes sense for other kids too!)

By Ellen Notbohm

Author's note: When my article Ten Things Every Child with Autism
Wishes You Knew was first published in November 2004, I could
scarcely have imagined the response. Reader after reader wrote to tell me that the piece should be required reading for all social service workers, teachers and relatives of children with autism. "Just what my daughter would say if she could," said one mother. "How I wish I had read this five years ago. It took my husband and I such a long time to 'learn' these things," said another. As the responses mounted, I decided that the resonance was coming from the fact that the piece spoke with a child's voice, a voice not heard often enough. There is great need - and I hope, great willingness – to understand the world as special needs children experience it. So the voice of our child returns now to tell us what children with autism wish their teachers knew.
