Key Learning Skills for

Children with Autism

Spectrum Disorders

(2011)

- “Having had the privilege of

working with both Dr. Whit-

man and Nicole DeWitt, my

son has experienced firsthand

the benefit of the therapies

discussed in this book. These

therapies allowed me to chart

my son’s progress and not just

‘guess’ how he was doing week

to week. We were able to

build on skills he had already

mastered and keep moving

forward. “

“We shouldn't teach

great books; we should

teach a love of reading”

- B. F. Skinner

Middle School: The

Stuff Nobody Tells you

About (2010)

- “Haley Moss, in her own

words, has created a very

helpful guide for girls on

the spectrum—and, in-

deed, any girl who experi-

ences challenges in ‘fitting

in.’ Her book is practical

and insightful. Drawing on

her own experiences, Ha-

ley provides a wonderful

template for social suc-

Kevin Thinks: about

Outer Space, Confusing

Expressions and the Per-

fectly Logical World of

Asperger Syndrome

(2012)

- “This clever and clearly

illustrated story provides an

accessible and valuable re-

source for teachers wishing

to convey to their students

the behavioral characteris-

tics of children with Asper-

ger Syndrome. I commend

it to teachers everywhere.”

The Potty Journey:

Guide to Toilet Training

Children with Special

Needs, Including Autism

and Related Disorders

(2008)

- “I would highly recommend

this program to anyone hav-

ing a hard time toilet training

their child. The thing I liked

the most about the potty

training program is that it

present a well-rounded group

of ideas for people to try.

The idea that worked for us

was taking an item away and

using it as a reward for each

step…Once [our son] had

that mastered, the idea that

he would get to the [reward]

for going potty only, he

learned very quickly. He is

now fully potty trained…”

Building Social Rela-

tionships: A Systematic

Approach to Teaching

Social Interaction Skills

to Children and Ado-

lescents with Autism

Spectrum Disorders

and Other Social Diffi-

culties (2006)

- “Finally! A social skills

book that combines practi-

cal sense and offers every-

day solutions. Many prac-

titioners are great about

sprouting theory, but par-

ents don’t want theory;

they want to know what

they can do for their child

today. This book lays it out

in terms that are applicable

for home and school!”

“A book is a gift you

can open again and

again”

Prescription for Suc-

cess: Supporting Chil-

dren with Autism Spec-

trum Disorders in the

Medical Environment

(2006)

- “This book gives a detailed

overview of the experiences

a child with autism spectrum

disorders may have in a

medical environment. From

the clear scenarios and sam-

ple activities to the concrete

developmental checklist and

assessment tools, this will

serve as a great resource for

those in the medical envi-

ronment as well as parents

who are working to support

their children through differ-

ent experiences.”

The Disability Action Center is

changing their name to Able South

Carolina!

The Disability Action Center has some exciting

news! We are thrilled to announce that we will be changing our name to Able South Caro-

lina. If you are familiar with our organization then you know that we believe that people with

disabilities are able to live independent, active, and self-determined lives! Our new name

will be effective in February 2013. Our website address and emails will be changing as well,

but the DAC information will remain attached to allow for a smooth transition.
