Adam's Alternative Sports Day: An Asperger Story [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

'This is a very useful book for any staff involved in teaching students on the autism spectrum. Its strength is its easy-to-read structure and the engaging illustrations, lists and notes. It meets the needs of many students and adults who find it hard to understand and cope with competition and unstructured events. I can strongly recommend this book to pupils between the ages of 6 and 13 years. It is a good idea for teachers or parents to read it to children and allow them to participate in the activities. It is also a good read for children who do not have Asperger's syndrome as it will help to develop their awareness.'- Good Autism PracticeNine-year-old Adam dreads Sports Day - he usually comes last in the races and never gets chosen for the team events.

And what will they do when they discover that James, the new boy in the class, is cheating?A fun and absorbing children's story, Adam's Alternative Sports Day also offers insights into how a child with Asperger Syndrome copes with the ups and downs and everyday challenges of school.
