Book Reviews

This clearly written, extremely user-friendly book will be invaluable to parents. It contains a plethora of ingenious ideas that you can incorporate into your everyday routines to enhance and expand your young child’s learning. Katarzyna Chawarska, PhD, Yale Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine

The book provides key information about typical developmental milestones from birth through toddlerhood, and is chock full of clever games and activities to make learning fun. Wendy L. Stone, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Washington; Director, Research on Early Autism Detection and Intervention (READi) Lab

I had the tremendous fortune of previewing this book and being coached by the authors when my daughter was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at 14 months old. We actually had fun incorporating the creative activities into our daily lives. Along with therapy, these techniques undoubtedly contributed to my daughter’s amazing progress. Reading this book is like having these four leading consultants guiding you in your home every step of the way!
Stephanie S., parent Fantastic!

A marvelous, unique resource that fills an important need. This book is filled with practical and helpful advice and activities that parents can readily use when developmental delays are suspected. It enables you to take active steps to facilitate your child’s development.
Fred R. Volkmar, MD, coauthor of A Practical Guide to Autism

I will recommend this book to all the parents I work with. It is just what you need if you are worried about your infant’s or toddler’s development. The chapters are bursting with easy-to-implement games and activities, embedded in daily routines that could help any child.
Sally Ozonoff, PhD, coauthor of A Parent’s Guide to High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder, Second Edition
