When researching PDA it's hard to sift through what resources are relevant to those of us in the United States, but by pulling from their years of combined professional experience and strong relationship with the adult PDA community, Diane and Ruth are helping bridge the gap. I expect this book to be a staple resource for both parents and professionals.
