An excellent book full of practical advice interspersed with anecdotes that illustrate challenges and give insight into the child’s experience. It gives really specific examples of intervention ideas such as goals for an IEP, rules for sensory motor activities and interpretations of body language. It also included great snippets from books etc. which it then listed in the references and appendix. The level of instruction was quite high so I’m not such how accessible it would be to a broad range of parents. 5 stars
