I am happy to have learned of your website. I too saw it in the Big Fresh news letter. This year I have 2 students on the autism spectrum. One is very severe, the other a bit less. It is great to see this website and know there is a place that deals especially with reading and autism. I am also currently completing my reading practicum and I am sure this site will be of great help!
Thank you!

Hello again Sara,
Do you, or does anyone have any suggestions for books or a series of books that deal with teens (relationships, “growing pains,” school issues, etc.)More than dragons and wizards and such, I think my 19-year old son would be motivated and interested in something like this…as his hormones have been “raging” for at least 3 years now.
Thanks,
Frances Swanson
I have really appreciated reading your blog this morning. I am teaching 8 children with ASD this year, aged 5-7 years of age. All have varying abilities. Two children present with hyperlexia. Helping them to develop and attach relevant meanings to words is my challenge. How to get around kids cuing into the unimportant aspects ( not the overprompting of adults in particular) of a reading process and focus on the things they need to attend to can be tricky.
