Review of Counseling Tools by School Counselors:
By Jenna Fleming – 5 Stars
“Brad shares a wide range of resources for school-aged children in a format that can be used with individual students, groups and as resources for parents and teachers. I am a school counselor and can use it as a go-to resource for most cases in schools. There are quite a few behavioral therapy ideas in here that can easily be applied in schools. All very doable and rooted in good solid theory. Included also are ideas for writing goals with lots of specific examples, a pretty large section on emotional management, which comes up quite a bit in schools. There’s some really good information in here on executive skills, sensory issues and social skills, which is great since resources for school counselors are pretty sparse.”

Reviews of Diagnosis Autism or Aspergers
By Susan Crockett, MD – 5 Stars
“Wow! What a fabulous and much needed resource. Easy to read and PACKED with useful information. Thank you so much, Brad, for making this available to moms like me!”
By Tracy A. Johnson – 5 Stars
There is so much helpful information in this book. Where do I start? From dealing with self-esteem issues, social skills, and problem solving to sensory issues, defense mechanisms, and even video game addiction, Diagnosis Autism or Aspergers: Now What? addresses all of these and more. I especially liked the chapter on Teaching Responsibility and Independence. It makes me want to go back several years and offer the well thought-out questions to my son, rather than shooting from the hip with the typical commands. The section about Care for the Caregiver is very important, I believe. So much attention is centered around the child, that the needs of parent or caregiver can be easily overlooked. I liked the chapter with the student interviews–learning about what the kids actually feel and what does and does not work for them was informative. And, last but not least, I loved Chapter 21 (Transition Fears) where the author talks about very real worries about growing up and navigating the adult world. Fantastic book with lots and lots of resources!
