Hello, Everyone! I'm Sue.

Thank you for inviting me to your blog. I, too, am interested in this topic
because more and more children are showing up in our classrooms. I also frequently get questions from pastors and teachers regarding how to best help these children and youth learn in their Christian education settings. Last spring LSEM hosted an in-service featuring Julia Rahn, a licensed clinical psychologist, who works with individuals on the spectrum. LSEM video-recorded her presentation and has some DVDs available on her topic, "Classroom Strategies for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders." Resources Julia shared in her presentation were the books:
Notbohm, E. (2005), Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, Arlington, TX: Future Horizons.
Notbohm, E. & V Zysk, (2004), 101 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Arlington TX: Future Horizons.
