Explains autism in a claear way. Gave a sound understanding of the child I work with. It also gave me a vocabulary to explain autism to other people and students.

This is a really useful self-learning tool. The information is easy to read and understand, yet sufficiently detailed to teach more than "basics". There are some useful case studies which help place info into a more real framework. Could be useful to Behaviour Support workers, Timata Hou staff and CSWs etc. Not really directed toward families though. Uses really nice language and fits well with IHC's philosophy of support. I like it!
