Recensioner i media

PDA is another part of the jigsaw within the autistic spectrum. This book offers us an"insider perspective" which enriches our understanding and knowledge. It is full of helpful advice and practical approaches, and I would highly recommend it to teachers, parents and all professionals working with children with PDA, (or who, from reading this book, realise that they are!).
