DESCRIPTION:
I Love the Terrific Time Tested Tips & Whole Body Learning Opportunities for Both Provider and Student to Enjoy! This book was a joy to read and will be a joy to implement! As a pediatric speech therapist/Autism Specialist "in the trenches" for two decades, I have been increasingly drawn to books with PRACTICAL & FUN information and implications, that utilize a collaborative, multi-sensory, and developmental approach to intervention. This book totally delivers on all fronts! Lois Brady is an excellent clinician who really "gets it", as do her co-authors. Brady first g. Dacia said Five Stars. Provides many useful ideas and fun activities. I can't wait to try them out.. "Five Stars" according to EVG. this book is very useful
