Critics Review

This is an excellent practical workbook using an ingenious, informative and entertaining format.

It is a large text format with A4 size paper making it very easy to read and assimilate… Overall this is a useful addition to the other workbooks already available in this area… So for those parents wishing to take the plunge and to start their own small group, this book is worth adding to your collection at the research phase. It is also to be recommended for any therapists and schools who educate and support those on the spectrum. – AS TeensThis is an excellent practical workbook using an ingenious, informative and entertaining format. – Tony Attwood, author of Asperger’s Syndrome and The Complete Guide to Asperger’s SyndromeAn informative and well-designed workbook for teens with Asperger’s Syndrome. By combining her personal experience and knowledge of Asperger’s, Karra has developed practical and innovative strategies for ASD adolescents to enhance social interactions, while practicing daily life skills. The Social and Life Skills MeNu is an excellent resource. A must-have for parents and professionals. – Joey Travolta, Creative Director of Inclusion Films, film-making workshops for adults with developmental disabilities, California
