“I love this book! The secret is in its simplicity. I plan to use the book as a training guide for school staff working with students with AS/HFA. I particularly love the clever way each strategy has been introduced, with titles like ‘Live Out Loud,’ and brief and easy-to-understand explanations of why it is important to use a given strategy. The ideas are appropriate for all educational environments – from early childhood to adult work situations – and are laid out in a user-friendly way so as to be easily understood by special education as well as mainstream personnel. I will buy multiple copies!” – Kari Dunn Buron, autism resource specialist, author of When My Autism Gets Too Big! and co-author of The Incredible 5-Point Scale
“Strategies That Work! is an excellent resource for any teacher, regardless of level or specialization. It contains strategies that are practical and positive not only for students with AS/HFA but for everyone in the class. I will be referring to it often for suggestions as well as reassurance.” – Kristen E. Hagen, M.S., elementary teacher and educational consultant
“Strategies That Work! is best summed up as a gem! It is easy to use, blissfully brief, yet thoroughly comprehensive. These suggestions WORK, both in the classroom and around the school, camps, and home. Every teacher should have a copy. Every parent and anyone who interacts daily with people on the spectrum should have a copy as well.” – Susan Moreno, president, MAAP Services for Autism and Asperger Syndrome
“This book tells about a lot of the problems kids with AS deal with. It gives good suggestions that are comprehensive and well organized so they will be easy for teachers to look through and find ideas quickly.” – Cameron Blackwell, age 14
“I can’t wait to get this book into the hands of my sons’ teachers! It is full of easy-to-understand descriptions of the challenges our kids face and step-by-step strategies that can be implemented in the school setting. It will be my new IEP conference companion!” – Jen Blackwell, special education para educator and mother of four children, one with Asperger Syndrome and one with high-functioning autism
“This book is filled with great strategies that are easy to implement and will assist in reducing stress for students diagnosed with AS/HFA. I plan to use this book for staff development for our extended learning staff this fall.” – Kathy L. Mangino, director of Extended Learning, Olathe District Schools
“Meeting AS/HFA students’ needs as a classroom teacher is challenging, but this book makes the job easier by offering practical, applicable strategies for everyday use. Teachers can implement the suggested procedures and helpful hints immediately and assist students without AS/HFA as well.” – Nancy Hildreth, middle school teacher, Queen of the Holy Rosary Wea Catholic School
