Book Reviews of Engaging Autism: Helping Children Relate, Communicate and Think with the DIR Floortime Approach (Merloyd Lawrence Book)

Book Review: Words of hope
Summary: 5 Stars

This book was given to me after my daughter was diagnosed with autism (among other things) and I was told that there was no hope for progression. The first thing that I discovered in reading the book is that my daughter does NOT have autism. How autism should be diagnosed and the mistakes that are often made in diagnosing were enlighting and I only wish I had read the book before I paid lots of money for a wrong diagnosis. The second thing that I learned is that there is ALWAYS hope regardless of the diagnosis. As far as the DIR/Floortime approach, I think that it would help any child (developmental problems or not) become happy and emotionally stable and reach his/her full potential. I implemented just a few of the principles as I was reading and saw immediate results. I plan to implement much more. The book is great - not only does it give you a plan, but it offers real hope.
