Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
This innovative book focuses on five categories of special needs: learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, intellectual disabilities, and emotional and behavioral disorders. For each category, Armstrong provides an in-depth discussion of
* The positive attributes associated with that category,
* Acclaimed neurodiverse adults who have excelled in their chosen fields,
* Computer programs and applications that allow students with special needs to overcome obstacles and achieve success,
* Rich networks of human resources both inside and outside of school that educators can draw upon to support the social and emotional lives of neurodiverse students,
* Innovative learning strategies that are tailored to each student's unique strengths,
* Future career paths for which a student's particular gifts might be a good fit,
* Modifications in the school environment that allow for seamless inclusion of neurodiverse students in the regular classroom, and
* Timely information about how to integrate the strategies and assessments for each category with the Common Core State Standards.
It's time that we focused on celebrating rather than pathologizing our students with special needs so that they can fully realize their potential in school and life.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST AUTHOR EVER for STUDENTS!
Great author…His early book “In Their Own Way” should be mandatory reading for everyone responsible for matching teachers & students & for developing curriculum for all schools… public & private
5.0 out of 5 stars Love the model they use and how they break down each chapter
This book is a great "introduction" to the neurodiversity movement and reviews the positive niche construction, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and a strengths based approach. I recommended this book to my assistant principal since my district is doing work on using UDL and they are now using pieces of this text for our staff professional development.
5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous read for teachers of all levels
It really opens your mind to ways of thinking of students in the classroom, especially those labeled special education. I highly recommend it. I purchased it on kindle and found that format to be easy to read.
4.0 out of 5 stars Positive and interesting ideas
This is a very positive book that changed my perspective on children with disabilities. It thinks outside the box, looking for the positive qualities in all students. I feel I will be much better able to teach a diverse classroom after reading this.My two criticisms are career aspirations and the chapter on children with emotional and behavior disabilities. I don't believe the purpose of schools is to prepare children for the work force, at least not until the end of high school. Instead, schools should expose children to everything (age appropriate) available to allow them to find a child's passion. For my second problem, I felt the strength based section for the emotional & behavior chapter was underdeveloped. The author does admit there isn't enough research, but I was still offended all he could muster was that they're creative. Despite speaking on mental illness being shoved under the rug he makes a weak argument of the benefits. It would have been better to break the group down into specific chapter than lumping them together, surely causing a single broad generalization.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for classroom teachers
Excellent book for any classroom teacher. I will implement many of the ideas for "good niche" construction in my class as soon as school starts.
3.0 out of 5 stars It's really good for a textbook
It's really good for a textbook. It's not too dry but the structure of it gets kind of old because they have to repeat quite a bit in the first few chapters. After that it gets better.

This book is readable for the average person. Not too many big words.
Aceptable
Contenido flojo, aunque prometedor y bien argumentado. Utilizable para master y estudios o investigaciones. No demasiado técnico. No aporta mucho en el ámbito de intervención con alumnos con trastornos de conducta.

Great to look positively and think about helping though young people strengths
An inspirational read!
Armstrong's book provides a new and insightful perspective into a variety of conditions that have previously been considered accepted by many clinicians. Armstrong's account encourages us to think differently about special education and thereby appreciate the variations and gifts present in each of us.
Tutti gli insegnanti dovrebbero leggerlo
Un ottimo libro, scritto con scientificità e passione. Si focalizza sui punti di forza dei DSA e dà delle soluzioni pratiche, corredate da esempi. Consigliato a tutti gli insegnanti, soprattutto se NON sono di sostegno, per aiutarli ad affrontare la neurodiversità in classe.
Beschädigt erhalten
Das Buch wurde schnell geliefert, allerdings war es trotz „Bubble-wrap“ stark beschädigt und hatte viele Knicke und Risse. Das ist bei dem Preis schon mehr als ärgerlich.
