A rich source of fresh ideas, original techniques, references, and information with tried and true approaches to help your child or student reach their potential.

Lois Jean Brady, MA/CCC-SLP, CAS Speech-Language Pathologist and Author, Apps for Autism Penina Rybak digs deep to address the root causes of specific learning challenges that are unique to children on the autism spectrum. Teachers and therapists will love her extensive lists of educational goals and teaching resources that reflect the visual learning strengths of these students. Her innovative ideas for developing "digital citizenship" capture the most up-to-date uses for iPad(R) and apps for ASD. Linda Hodgdon M.Ed., CCC-SLP Speech-Language Pathologist, Autism Consultant, Author: Visual Strategies for Improving Communication A powerful instructional guide that takes you from fostering compliance to actual implementation, Penina has given us an eye-opening look at the need for orientation to time, person, and place, and how to assist the child with Autism in developing these important skills.

The numerous lists of suggested apps, suggested materials, and resources, are the most comprehensive I have ever seen.
