{"product_id":"9781638376088","title":"I Didn't Choose This Job, It Chose Me","description":"Hundreds of thousands of children face the difficulties of life with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism spectrum disorder that affects a child's language and social skills. Although they possess average to above-average intelligence, kids with Asperger's often have obsessive interests, are socially awkward, and do not understand the subtleties of language and conversation. However, with proper diagnosis and concentrated effort on the part of parents and educators, children can begin to overcome the difficulties of this disorder and find success in school and life.  Children with Asperger's syndrome need to be given the tools they need to recognize and develop their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. The authors cover such topics as recognizing and diagnosing Asperger's syndrome, addressing the needs of students with Asperger's, implementing practices in the classroom to help students succeed, working with the child's school system, and providing interventions in the home to help develop needed skills.  The authors, leaders in the field of special education, combine the strategies they've used in working with this population, checklists, practical tools, and advice with case studies of students who have Asperger's to give these students, their parents, and teachers hope and guidance to ensure school success.","brand":"Palmetto Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48245873279216,"sku":"9781638376088","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781638376088_p0.jpg?v=1763684002","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781638376088","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
