Had left this book to the last of my readings- it struck a chord and tied it all together for me. A great book every teacher should read.

An excellent book - wish I'd found it sooner! Relatively complex in terms of assessment tools suggested, so better for professionals.

Probably one of the best books I've read on ASD.
