"You're Going to Love This Kid!": Teaching Students with Autism in the Inclusive Classroom, Second Edition

I am a special education teacher and am always trying to grow in my knowledge about my students. This book is packed with information that is practical and helpful. I am very happy I purchased it and have many things marked to print off or add to the structure and protocol of my classroom.

Calling All Teachers: If you're only going to buy one book to help you work with kids on the Autism Spectrum, this is the one to buy! It will change the way you think about kids on the spectrum and help you, step-by-step to reach each one of these unique individuals and help them to learn their way. Instead of looking at autism in a deficit mode, you will learn to identify and embrace the differences these kids bring to the classroom. In addition to providing current and positive information, this book presents many practical examples and tips to use today in your inclusive classroom.I bought this book to help me, as a teacher, help my students. It is the best, along with any of the other Paula Kluth books. After reading this book, she will become your new best hero.

I can't stop buying this book- I buy it for every classroom teacher I work with, every graduate student I teach, and myself every time I loan it out and don't want to ask for it back! I hope there is a new edition soon! The strategies in here are easy to implement, practical, ethical, and fun! I love PAULA KLUTH!

Fabulous resource to include in your professional library, even if you are a veteran teacher. This book uses real life examples, dialogue, and interviews from individuals with disabilities as they discuss their feelings, wishes, and how they would like to be viewed by the world. This book really puts things into perspective and showcases all the possible, positive outcomes that can come from teaching in an inclusion style with Universal Design or project based learning.

The mix of Kluth's professional and research-based expertise with firsthand accounts of people with autism makes the whole of this book so edifying, illuminating and valuable. This text is a useful handbook for both higher-educational settings and the classroom. I would recommend it to anyone, from someone curious about autism to a teacher working to create an inclusive learning environment for all of their students; many of Kluth's methods extend beyond autism.

Great book about the benefits of an autism inclusive classroom. Lots of examples are provided and first hand testimonials. Well written and easy to follow.

This is the best book written for individuals who either live with or teach children with autism. Kluth is empathetic, realistic, and supportive in her approach to teaching and working with children with disabilities. Many books are written as 'us' and 'them', but Kluth is able to overcome the misconceptions and misunderstandings of the abilities of children with differences. If you are a teacher - buy this book, and read it! If you are a parent - buy this book, and read it and then give it to your child's teacher!

As an inclusion teacher this book has provided numerous strategies that are working for my prekindergarten student. The positive tone if the book is both emcouraging and empowering. Also, The potential reasons for frustrations and upsets are well written and helpful for the parents as they learn to accept their child as a unique blessing in their lives.
