TEN THINGS YOUR STUDENT WITH AUTISM WISHES YOU KNEW

Ellen Notbohm

In this exciting companion to Ellen Notbohm's beloved classic Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, the unique perspective of an autistic child's voice returns to describe for teachers, in the classroom and in the larger community, how to understand thinking and processing patterns common in autism, how to shape an environment conducive to their learning style, and how to communicate with autistic learners of all ages in functional, meaningful ways. It's the guidebook every educator and family member, worldwide, needs to create effective and inclusive settings wherein child and adult are both teachers and learners.

This vibrantly updated and expanded edition includes an imaginative, all-new guide adaptable for group discussion, self-reflection, or self-expression, added perspective from autistic adults about their experiences in education, and an afterword by Bryce Notbohm. Perennially popular since 2006 and translated into multiple languages, Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew now brings fresh perspective to a new generation of educators and autistic learners.

Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes YouKnew combines wisdom from a student with autism, his family, and his educators throughout the continuum of their school years from pre-school to higher education, delivered through analogies, metaphors, and hard facts. It is written with humor and easy-to-remember phrases so the reader can learn to hear the voices of our autistic students and respond in ways that are meaningful to them. The book starts with clear succinct points that lay out a guide map, then clarifies the essential information to help teachers offer their best work for their students' growth. Through numerous and invaluable examples, Ten Things provides insight that can be used to generalize an understanding of the VERY different way the brain of a person with autism is wired.

The Ten Things laid out in this book are critical to teaching students with ASD. But you'll find much that benefits all children as well. Recalling my own 40-year career as a teacher, a learning specialist, and a district supervisor of special education teachers, I highly recommend Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew for your educational resource library.

Ellen Notbohm's internationally renowned work has informed and delighted millions in more than twenty-five languages. In addition to her perennial bestseller, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, she is also the author of two other award-winning books on autism, including 1001 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism or Asperger's as well the novel, The River by Starlight.

Comments

Ellen Notbohm’s advocacy of those with autism, her clever, respectful, and compassionate understanding of how we think and learn makes her new book the best ally your student with autism could wish for.

The two biggest take-home messages from this book are the importance of parents and teachers working together as a team and understanding that your autistic child thinks differently. Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew will help parents and teachers learn more effective methods for teaching children on the spectrum.

The 2nd edition is already an Amazon Bestseller! It is the #1 New Release in Autism. Also #1 in Special Education ebooks on Learning Disabilities, and a couple of other sub categories.

It is a delight to find a book that creates a crack in the shell of autism, leading us to a better understanding of students with ASD. Ellen Notbohm offers us a glimpse of the inner thoughts of a child with this disorder, something that is often missed when teaching this student. A wonderful addition to any educator's library!

If you only read one book about autism, let this be the one. And prepare for emotional impact. Once again, drawing on firsthand experience and literature, Notbohm shares her gift of shining light, optimism, and profound wisdom in a conversational style that is both scholarly and uplifting.

A breath of fresh air! Ellen Notbohm leaves behind reliance on tired, rigid systems of interventions and instead delves into vital transactional approaches that are so sorely needed. The most important part of any IEP is not the diagnostic category but the individual's student profile. This book makes that often-neglected section come alive... An essential book for any parent, educator, and developmental pediatrician!

Ellen Notbohm has done it again! Every educator should own and frequently refer to this book. Every parent of a child with autism should give a copy of this book to each of their student's teachers. The communication strategies in Chapter 2 can be life-changing not only for a child, but also for the adults in that child's life. As both a parent and an educator, I recommend this book for the impact it can have not only on a child's school year, but also on their life.

Special education professionals dealing with autism spectrum students will greatly appreciate this comprehensive, sensitive look at what life is like with the disorders. By getting into the minds and experiences of such children and teens, Ten Things Your Student with Autism Wishes You Knew proves an integral resource when drawing up viable lesson plans and properly meeting specific emotional needs. Parents and other loved ones struggling to understand ASD individuals will also benefit from picking up this revolutionary read.

I love the book's underlying and over-arching themes of optimism, respect for differences, and belief in our students. We are reminded and encouraged to be curious about their unique learning styles, to foster their own curiosity as an important learning tool, and to learn from our students, so we can teach them in the ways they learn best. Most importantly, she shines a light on the joy that is an integral part of knowing and teaching these students.

Ellen provides an excellent perspective for those involved with educating children on the autism spectrum. Her work is practical, concise and brimming with common sense. I particularly applaud her emphasis on raising our expectations for autistic learners and getting to know children with autism as people, rather than diagnoses or problems.

In a sequel to her groundbreaking best-seller Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, Ellen Notbohm brings the same intelligence, humanity, and compassionate clarity to educators that her earlier volume brought to parents. There are gems on every page, an impeccable blend of wisdom and heart... A brilliant volume that's sure to be another perennial best-seller, Notbohm's thoughtful and actionable must-have handbook is sure to expand the number of parents, teachers, and counselors who count on her work to guide them.

This book provides clear and specific guidance that is doable, logical, meaningful and relevant. It should be required reading for all child centered professionals.
