Kathy Hoopman's latest book should be compulsory reading for anyone
involved in the education of children with AS. Seldom do you find
such depth of information in so accessible a form. Busy teachers
will find the "Issue Sorter" a life saver. No need to plough
through the text, just identify the problem and turn straight to
the strategies. This book has an added dimension in that it gives
the pupil with AS a voice and provides engaging activities that can
be used class-wide. Inspired and absolutely essential reading.

This essential manual provides a wealth of useful and holistic
strategies to support inclusion in all aspects of school life for
pupils identified as having Asperger syndrome. The author, Kathy
Hoopmann, has over 20 years of classroom experience and this shines
through... The strategies offered are realistic, sensible and
perfect for the non-specialist teacher to have a go at
implementing... I especially like the section on sensory issues...
It would support any school in developing inclusive practices that
would help a pupil with Asperger syndrome to be successful and well
prepared for life beyond school.
