Product Name: Beyond Words: The Successful Inclusion of a Child with Autism

Authors: Mary Donnet Johnson, Sherry Henshaw Corden, and William Allen, Ph.D.

Source: www.merrypacepress.com
Price: $18.95

Description: Beyond Words is a 173 page, soft cover gold mine for parents and educational teams who are learning to deal with inclusion. This unique book is a collaboration between the mother of a non-verbal kindergarten child with autism and his kindergarten teacher, with commentary and suggestions from William Allen, Ph.D., on all aspects of inclusion, including: The First Day, Getting to Know You, Finding a Way to Work Beyond Words, The Social Maze, A Break in Routines, Environmental Issues and Sensory Strategies, and Making Friends and Moving On.

Rather than presenting a single point of view on inclusion, the experiences of the student, his mother, educational team, and classmates are very personally related through direct quotes under headings "what other parents thought," "what the school staff and professionals said," "parent/teacher dialogue," "the teacher's perspective," "what the other children felt," and "the parent's view." These quotes are most illuminating, and reflect diverse insights and perspectives that all add up to the complex little boy named Pace as he enters and moves through kindergarten with neurotypical peers. Interspersed with these perspectives are wonderfully descriptive, functional tips from Dr. Allen on how to handle many challenging aspects of autism, and illustrated suggestions from the parent and teacher on the use of visual supports for communication, routine, and behavior.

I highly recommend this book for all parents and special educators who are getting involved with inclusion for the first time, or who are looking to improve existing inclusion experiences.
