So, here is my list of summer reading.  I’m going to try to get them all done before school officially resumes August 15, 2011….however, we will be starting a few things in July.  In no particular order:

  • The Autism Checklist – a practical reference for parents and teachers by Paula Kluth, Ph.D.
  • Making Autism A Gift by Robert Evert Cimera
  • How To Be Yourself in a World That’s Different by Yuko Yoshida
  • Homeschooling the Child with Autism by Patricia Schetter & Kandis Lighthall
  • Thinking in Pictures, my life with Autism by Temple Grandin
  • FASD, strategies not solutions
  • The Busy Homeschool Mom’s Guide to Romance by Heidi St. John
  • Life Skills for Kids by Christine Fied
