Book Review: “Rules”
As providers of special services to children with autism and other related disorders, we are always trying to find new ways of supporting siblings of children with special needs. The book Rules written by Cynthia Lord is an adorable story of a twelve-year-old girl, Catherine, who has a younger brother with autism. In this fictional story Catherine describes her relationship with her brother and how she experiences different emotions related to having a brother with autism. This is a wonderful story to incorporate in parent training services to help parents understand and communicate with their typically developing children.
