Strategies for a Successful Mealtime
Strategies for a successful mealtime offers parents, caregivers, and teachers help and hope for making mealtimes more successful for children on the autism spectrum with eating difficulties. Written by a speech/language pathologist with almost four decades of experience working with children with a variety of disabilities, this 132-page book details a program that can help children with a sensory-motor disorder overcome their aversions to the use of utensils and textures of foods.
The book covers typical feeding development from birth along with the oral movement components that make feeding possible and causes for concern at each stage of development. It then goes on to discuss how the senses are involved with feeding and introduces activities or play that can help desensitize children to the process of eating. A chapter on creating your child's treatment plan and one on sensory activities to do in the home or school precedes the conclusion chapter. Further resources, appendices, and a glossary of terms can be found at the end of the book.

Revolutionary grandparents: Generations healing autism with love and hope
Revolutionary grandparents: Generations healing autism with love and hope is 180 pages of advice and love from 22 grandmothers and grandfathers who have either moved in with their children or have dramatically altered their life in order to become more active members of their children and grandchildren's life.
The grandparents in these stories share a glimpse into their lives not only to record the progress of their grandchildren but also as a way to offer advice, hope and compassion to others who may be going through the same, oftentimes difficult, journey. Their unique voice offers a point of view that is a step removed from the sometimes overwhelming fear and uncertainty that often comes with being a parent whose child is diagnosed on the spectrum. Their words of awe and support as they watch their own children parent a child with autism is a comforting testament to the power of positivity.
