Summary

Songs, rhymes, and a large repertoire of fun-filled methods bubbled out of this exemplary creative mother, Elizabeth Scott, to gently and firmly teach her son to overcome symptoms of autism. The book will move you to tears, punctuated with a few bursts of spontaneous laughter, as you marvel at this touching true story. You will learn very specific skills and drills that she used, what materials to obtain to implement them, and what areas each activity helps to develop and improve. This is a must-have book for all parents and every professional working with children who have autism. Elizabeth became an educator and spent her career prior to Roman as a teacher. Hopefully, the new recommendations by the American Academy of Paediatrics (screening for autism for all children at 18 and 24 months), along with stories like Roman's will help countless children overcome autism in the future.
