Reviews

"Stuck! Strategies is an absolutely wonderful resource for parents and educators who support inflexible thinkers. I love the simplicity of how the book is structured and how well it connects difficult and disturbing behavior to the student's underlying support needs. Janice Carroll and Terry Izraelevitz have created a truly valuable resource for helping teachers, paraprofessionals, and others to better understand the nature and consequences of a social cognitive disorder, while providing them with a bag of tricks for positive intervention." -- Kari Dunn Buron, autism education specialist, and author of The Incredible 5-Point Scale and When My "Kari Dunn Buron"
