Description
It is time to clean up the warehouse and go through the extensive collection of reference books and samples we have accumulated over almost 30 years of researching, teaching and running workshops in Auslan, and on parenting and teaching children with a hearing loss.
(We also have a listing of similar books for Auslan and Deafness.)
Some are just being sold because I have 2 copies. Some were literally only ever used on expo tables as demo stock.

Each explains how it is possible to draw on autistic strengths not just to make your way in the world, overcoming challenges and obstacles, but also to make your life a real success. Education, the world of work, and relationships are the focus of the first part of the book, which then goes on to look at exceptional creativity, and the use of special interests.

Learn to have fun with your senses
This book was invaluable for me with two sons on the spectrum with very different sensory issues. We used to sell it and this is the Ex-demo copy.
The book works through the senses for kids. It might be your child's first "read about your own problems" guide. It explains what can go wrong when the brain inappropriately magnifies the messages sense organs send to it. Making inappropriate responses to sensory input from various senses is commonly referred to as sensory processing disorder, or SPD. The child avoids, resists, or becomes emotionally upset about experiencing sensory awareness, to a level that significantly interferes with a child's ability to perform the necessary major functions of daily living. This book is a therapy guide for any child with sensory issues.
