I work with preschoolers who exhibit a variety of handicaps: autism, behavioral disorders, delayed language , etc. This book is a great resource to use when dealing with parents and outside agencies and preschools.

This book is a GREAT guide for dealing with people of ALL ages in many settings including the business office. It was an essential tool during my career as a family and consumer science agent. Now, it is useful in dealing with members of my personal family. Of course, when using the techniques outlined in the book with older individuals particularly adults, one transfers the objects and settings to the appropriate age level/specifics.

Best prek (and primary grades) behavior book ever. I'm a special education teacher and I use the techniques in the book successfully with ALL my students.
