Recent Product Reviews:

I was looking for a book that provided more details about how to implement interventions that increase communication skills. This provides a general overview but no how-to guidelines. FYI for book authors, please provide more resources (activities, ppt templates, videos, etc.) to assist university instructors in educating future autism professionals.
Dr Miriam Boesch, Educational Psychology, University of North Texas
