What a lovely common-sense book! [It] is full of forthright opinions and inspiring examples, all of which are based on a deep respect for young people who have a range of complex and idiosyncratic needs... Each person is unique and if we follow their lead, we will be able to design a curriculum that will be right for each one of them. This book is an excellent place to start.
