Editorial : From Library Journal Aarons and Gittens are London speech therapists who have taught autistic children for 25 years. Their book is a thorough introduction to autism, covering diagnosis, assessments, history, prognosis, and methods of education. Still, while the background and history are helpful, the intended readership is British. Sections on educational alternatives, British sign language, British education acts, and therapy options in Britain will be of little use to U.S. readers, who need immediate, close-at-hand help. Temple Grandin's Thinking in Pictures (LJ 1/96) and Emergence might be better choices. The McClannahan/Krantz book covers one method of helping autistic children learn: using activity schedules.

Based on a decade of research conducted at the Princeton Child Development Institute, Activity Schedules for Children with Autism offers a proven teaching tool to help children with autism make

I found Dr. I dived right in, and man, was I shocked by what the author put together. I have used it so much, that I'll need my own copy! The CD that comes with the book is also very good. It was needed then, but even though there is still racism in America, it is at least hidden enough so that those who wish to pursue excellence may usually do so. The author doesn't treat this as a gimmick or make excuses for it. If you want to know the operation of a full scale Corsair, this book has the details.. The book was still delightful to devour, and so full of good-natured optimism about women, loving women, and optimism about connecting with others that this reader couldn't help but finish with a smile on her
