Dear Readers,

I have always been a huge fan of practical, hands-on materials for families living with ASD. My latest venture takes that passion one step further. In putting together Top Ten Tips - A Survival Guide for Families with Children on the Autism Spectrum, my goal was to create one of the most parent friendly books available. As you flip through the pages, I think you will agree that this book is as parent-friendly as they come.

I would never claim this book as my own, because it truly is the result of the combined efforts of some of the most well-respected professionals in the field and parents who live with autism every day.

I was honored to bring all of these amazing tips together for you to use. Parents of children with autism are some of the busiest people I know. My hope is that this book can make your lives go a little more smoothly. If you get stuck and aren't sure what to do, grab your Top Ten Tips book and consult some experts.

Happy Reading,

Teresa A. Cardon, M.A. CCC-SLP
