Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew

Editorial Review
Ellen Notbohm's first book, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, was a shot heard throughout the worldwide autism community, branded by readers as "required reading for all social service workers, teachers and relatives of children with autism." Now, for the teacher in all of us comes Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew. The unique perspective of a child's voice is back to help us understand the thinking patterns that guide their actions, shape an environment conducive to their learning style, and communicate with them in meaningful ways. Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew affirms that autism imposes no inherent upper limits on achievement, that both teacher and child "can do it." It's the game plan every educator, parent, or family member needs to make the most of every "teaching moment" in the life of these children we love.

Great for all educators

I bought this book to prepare my son's new, mainstream school for him coming to 1st grade next year. It gives a great overview of ASD, and speaks directly to teachers about having children with autism spectrum disorders in their classroom. I donated a copy to the teacher's library at the school, and they were very receptive.

Must Read for All Who Know a Child with Autism

Ellen Notbohm's second book about autism, TEN THINGS YOUR STUDENT WITH AUTISM WISHES YOU KNEW, is every bit as informative and encouraging as her first. She gets to the point, writes from personal experience, provides practical insight, and she cares. Her first book, TEN THINGS YOUR CHILD WITH AUTISM WISHES YOU KNEW, addressed matters pertaining to the very young. This book continues with the older child's development. After reading her book(s), anyone who deals with the mysteries of autism should feel greatly encouraged and better equipped to help these children grow.

If you have or know a child with autism read this book

2008-02-09
My recommendation is to read every book Ellen Notbohn writes about autism. All of her books are easy reads. The information is on target, clear and sometime humerous and always relatable. If you have a child with autism ask the teacher if they have read it, if not purchase a 2nd copy for them.

Excellant information for the uninformed

We got this book because our nephew is autistic and we wanted a better understanding of why he does what he does. After reading this book which was recommended by a friend, we are no longer in the dark about alot of his behavior problems. We thought it was him, as it turns out, we were the ones who needed the education on how to treat him so we wouldnt trigger certain things in his behavior. It works!!

Great Book!

Excellent Insight

2007-11-12
This book offers excellent insight into what it is like for the individual with autism...especially if the person is non verbal. This information is helpful for those of us attempting to make that person's world as comfortable and accessible as possible via understanding and adaptation.

great easy read!

I thought this book was pretty good. Not as good as "ten things your child with autism . . . " by the same author. But it was still good. It's an easy read and it does a decent job explaining what autism is from the perspective of the child.

Jerri thoughts

I had read the 3 page 10 things a child with autism wished you knew online a while back. My mom enjoyed it so much I thought I would like to read the book which the 3 pages online sumed up. The book went more indepth on each of the 10 things online. I have not sent the book to mom to read yet but plan to. For a person who is learning about autism and how it effects the person with autism this is a good book to start with. I also bought the book 10 things a student with autism wished you knew.

Ten Things to help your childs teacher understand Autism

I bought this book along with, Ten Things Your Child With Autism Wishes You Knew, and they have been two of the most valuable books that I have purchased. Inside these pages I found the key to understanding my child better. I found them so informative that I even bought copies for my child's teacher to keep.
