Print

Our principal and founder's first book is available in print from most online book sellers, including Amazon.com. Her second book on Executive Functioning should go to print by the end of 2011.

  • The Mom's Guide to Asperger's Syndrome (2007).  This resource handbook covers everything from how to get a 'proper' diagnosis, how to request, write, and manage an IEP, how to handle well-meaning (but sometimes ill-informed) teachers, friends, relatives and professionals, how to help scaffold your child socially, and much, much more. This is the book that I wish I had when my son was first diagnosed. It didn't exist, so I wrote it! Buy it here.
  • The CEO of Self: Executive Functioning Workbook (est. 2012). This workbook will guide teens and adults through a series of instructional exercises that will teach them both basics and higher-level executive functioning techniques that will last a lifetime.
