Notă biografică

Jennifer Abeles-Davidson is one of the most respected, recognized autism consultants in the United States, valued by professionals and parents alike as a champion of the autism community. She combines empirically-sound methodologies with truly engaging, hands-on play, art, and fun to blow the limits off of what children with autism can enjoy learning and doing. She is credentialed at the advanced level as a Forensic Interviewer, with highly specialized niche expertise in helping child abuse victims with autism and other special needs. Says the author about the book:  "I wrote The Heart of Autism to offer a compassionate, child-centered, effective approach to addressing autism through best-practices and innovations that are changing the paradigm of what it means to live with autism.  Everyone can improve the quality of life for someone with autism: this book is designed to teach you how, in simple, uplifting reader-friendly terms, and often infused with laughter-riddled common-sense inspirations!"  The Heart of Autism received an iParenting "Outstanding Media Award," a national honor.  Abeles-Davidson currently works with families from all over the U.S. and Canada who come to receive her positive, hands-on consulting and sessions—one-on-one, small group, and family-tailored programs—in a therapeutic farm setting near Athens, GA.
