5.0 out of 5 stars
A MUST read..., May 27 2008
By Diana M. Straut "DMS" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Just Give Him the Whale! 20 Ways to Use Fascinations Areas of Expertise & Strengths to Support Students with Autism (Paperback)
It's hard to decide what I love most about this book. Throughout the book Kluth and Schwartz combine three essential elements for working with All children: Respecting difference, challenging assumptions, and empowering learners. From the cover to the last page they get the reader thinking about the biases that influence how we view children(they're fascinations, not obssessions!) and they offer hands-on, realistic strategies for bringing out the best in all students. They tell stories from teachers and students who have found success in creative ways. It's inspiring and positive throughout. I bought a copy for myself, then ordered several more to share.

Tons of great ideas, May 5 2008
By Julia Vissers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Just Give Him the Whale! 20 Ways to Use Fascinations Areas of Expertise & Strengths to Support Students with Autism (Paperback)
Great book-- filled with dozens of examples and has ideas on using fascinations to calm, comfort, inspire, teach literacy and math, and support social skills & communication efforts. Lots of good stories too and applications for elementary and secondary classrooms. My friend recommended it to me & now I am recommending it to both parents and teachers.

A whale of a great book!, April 6 2008
By Bill Levy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Just Give Him the Whale! 20 Ways to Use Fascinations Areas of Expertise & Strengths to Support Students with Autism (Paperback)
Kluth and Schwarz have done it again! They have authored another easy to read and immensely helpful book on the heels of "You're Welcome." The primary tenants of "You're Welcome" - specifically collaboration, differentiation, adaptation and positive behavior supports - all carry forward into the world of students with fascinations, passions and interest areas. Even though this text is focused on students with autism as an attribute, readers will find that it is tremendously helpful with a wide range of individuals who have fascinations, passions and strong interests with or without disabilities. Similarly, even though this text is directed towards educators, others, such as parents, family members, advocates and even employers can and will find wonderful ways to connect with and support people who have fascinations, passions and strong interests. Thanks you for another great book. I'm looking forward to reading the companion children's book about Pedro and his whale and to sharing it with the children in my life.
