''Linda Goldman has offered a bridge of understanding between grieving children and the adults who care about them. Using a balanced offering of simple text, appealing photos, gentle coaching, and straightforward advice, she has provided to readers of all ages an accessible resource for understanding and managing the experience of loss in a way that lets them draw closer together, rather than drift further apart. I recommend it highly.''. - Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, author of Lessons of Loss: A Guide to Coping and Editor of Death Studies.

Faced with the apparent inability of her autistic son Billy to learn and socialize with other children at school, Olga Holland decided to teach him at home. Where traditional educational approaches had produced limited results, the author's own method of teaching succeeded, over a period of two years, in enabling Billy to pass the test that allowed him to enter a class for gifted children. Teaching at Home explains the author's approach, focused on adapting to the demands of Billy's atypical mind and respecting his vivid imaginative world while attracting and retaining his attention. The author describes her use of sensory and memory techniques, social stories and humour, and gives useful advice on issues such as understanding body language, adapting the teaching environment, devising homework schedules and coping with distractions. This book offers inspiration and encouragement for parents of children with autism or Asperger Syndrome who are considering homeschooling their children, and also provides useful pointers for teachers and carers. more...
