I'm both a parent of a child with diagnosed ASD, and an educator. I've read many books on autism and ways autistic and special needs children can be supported in the home and classroom. The title of this book caught my attention, and I hoped to learn about auditory processing disorders from reading it. Unfortunately, this 34 page guide (I don't think the length qualifies it as a book), was a big miss for me.

This guide was extremely repetitive, to the point that many pages said almost the exact same thing and had me wondering if it was generated by AI. Although the synopsis says it is for educators, parents, etc., the intended audience often shifts in the writing and doesn't flow well. This guide is written almost entirely in checklist and bullet formats, with very few paragraphs and very little cohesive flow.

There was also no authority or experience cited by the author, nor was any research of others mentioned within the guide. The large amount of filler text could have been edited down to create a short article and not lose any of the impact from words removed. The "case studies" were simply a generic statement of a child with a problem, followed by a simple panacea that most would think is a common sense solution anyway.

I read this ARC, but unfortunately cannot recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the complementary copy of this ARC. My review is my honest opinion and is in no way influenced by the author or publisher.
