Böcker av Linda Barboa

It's No Biggie: Autism in the Early Childhood Classroom is designed as an introduction for preschool teachers, childcare workers and others working with young children to best practices in working with all children, but most notably with those on the autism spectrum. The book contains background information on effective early childhoodpractices, with an emphasis on students who are or may be on the autism spectrum. The very knowledgeable and experienced authors present an overview of autism, specific strategies for the classroom teacher now dealing with those on the autism spectrum, as well as interesting and insightful vignettes that bring these strategies to life. Chapters on the special education process, working with parents and with other professionals, and facing the challenges presented in working with young special needs children provide practical suggestions for both experienced educators, and those new to the world of special education.

Have you ever wondered about the most memorable advice dads have given their kids over the past decades? The Best Advice My Dad Ever Gave Me is a fun companion book to The Best Advice My Mother Ever Gave Me. Dads over the years have given their sons and daughters a gamut of advice from practical "measure twice and cut once" to financial "You don't get rich by wishing", to personal, "Don't marry without love, but don't love without reason." Dr. Barboa knocks it out of the park again with advice that will make you think and smile as you reminisce.
