(2007 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Award: Finalist, Education)Children with autism spectrum disorders are increasingly being educated in inclusive general education classrooms. For optimal results, teachers need to know as much as possible about autism and the teaching methods and modifications that work best for these students. This is a huge undertaking for time-crunched general education teachers, many of whom may never have had a student with autism before.

The Autism Acceptance Book is an interactive, educational, and character-building book that introduces children to the challenges faced by people with autism while also supporting their personal journey toward appreciating and respecting people’s differences. This book offers educational information, conversation-starters, and engaging exercises that invite children to "walk in someone else’s shoes" as they learn to treat others the same ways they would like to be treated themselves.
