Reviews

Joel Shaul's latest book provides an innovative, visual and hands-on approach to target tangible social and emotional learning skills across the child's day and throughout their different environments. -- Lauren Brukner, Occupational Therapist, and author of The Awesome and In Control Series
Joel has captured what has been missing for our students in need of figuring out the mystery of social skills! He uses exceptional visuals that make the social experience clear, practical and comprehensive. The product somehow includes everything a parent or educator would want to help a child on the spectrum with understanding and participating in social interactions! -- Carla Butorac, special education consultant, speaker and author from behaviorcommunicates.com
