Who has time to read the newspaper, let alone a book about special needs. But if you do, The Child with Special Needs is a must read. Reason: It tells you what you can do to help your child now that you know your child needs help. The authors are noted for the development of the floortime intervention model.

For children who have trouble expressing their needs or understanding what you say, More Than Words is a top choice. Children who need an intensive language program should look into the ABLLS (Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills).

Sensory integration issues? The Out-Of-Sync Child is the book many parents reach for first. Most of the links below will take you to Amazon.com, but feel free to buy the books at the bookstore of your choice. [There is no financial interest for this site if you choose to use Amazon.]

The books were recommended to the editorial director of this site by an eclectic mix of experts. They are not listed in any particular order

The rest of our resources will lead you to other books in print and online publications and sites.
