Book Reviews of Taking Autism to School
Book Review: Her Brother's Keeper
Summary: 5 Stars
Angel is nonplussed when she meets her new classmate, Sam. Sam has autism and Angel is naturally curious about Sam's behavior and responses.
In time, Angel learns more about the sensory world as Sam experiences it and how Sam came to be fortunate to be mainstreamed, or "included" in her class. I like the way autism is described and explained in this book. A must have for the early grades and for educators and other interested professionals. Cheers to this book!
I also highly recommend "Looking After Louis" by Ely and Dunbar. That book together with this one paves the way down the Long & Winding Road to Inclusion.
Summary of Taking Autism to School
These beautifully illustrated and fun-to-read storybooks simplify and normalize complicated childhood conditions, like autism. When read aloud, other children can identify why a peer may be treated differently and begin to empathize with them. In addition, children whose conditions set them apart as being different begin to feel accepted and safe. Each book includes a Kids' Quiz to reinforce new information and Ten Tips for Teachers to provide additional facts and ideas for teacher use. This book educates children about autism, a complex and often misunderstood condition. The story describes what life is like for a child with autism.Special Needs Books
