Book Reviews

"The Hidden Curriculum Calendar is the only calendar we have been using for two years. The daily reminders of those "invisible" social rules that are often confusing to those on the autism spectrum are invaluable, as they reinforce the social parameters of living. This is a great tool for parents, educators, professionals, and the general public - etiquette is back!"

- Monica Moshenko, mother, advocate, and host, DisAbility News & Views Radio; www.disabilitynewsradio.com

"The Hidden Curriculum One-A-Day Calendar is a great addition to any program. It takes just a few minutes to have a discussion or conversation based on the tip for the day, but the benefits are immense. It is a learning tool that lasts 365 days."

- Bonnie Sayers, AutismSpectrumDisorders.BellaOnline.com

"The One-A-Day Hidden Curriculum Calendar provides a natural transition for discussions that enhance social, emotional, and cognitive development. The matter-of-fact, nonjudgmental approach to everyday situations makes it appropriate for use with a wide range of students. Our English language learners have especially benefited from the items dealing with idioms to explain those confusing phrases we often use without realizing it. As a social worker, the calendar gives me a systematic way of initiating dialogue to address behaviors."

- Sharon Stuewe, licensed specialist clinical social worker, Topeka Public Schools, and president, Kansas Association of School Social Workers

"The Hidden Curriculum Calendar helps to remind me that my daughter does not always understand many things that I take for granted. It is a great tool for teaching many social graces and life skills to any child."

- Sherry LaMunyon, mother of teenage daughter on the autism spectrum

"Once again, The Hidden Curriculum Calendar includes many easily overlooked 'life hints' to help us assist our students. The daily reminders are formatted so they gently prompt us to think about (and teach!) so many areas, especially for our more literal students."

- Julia N. Crowley, special ed. counselor and behavior/autism specialist
