Having taught children with autism has been a privilege and reading a parent's perspective has reminded me of that once again."

"Engaging Autism has been one of my mainstays for working with families with children in the autism spectrum. I have been able to teach them simple strategies from the Floortime method that allows them to quickly see glimmers of engagement with their children. Dr. Greenspan's explanations of why these children have problems and how to help them find us worth joining is very thoughtful.
Parents that I have recommended this book to have come back with a better appreciation of the..."
"I think the book is great. I love the positive view!
