But there's more to live then school. Accompany Nick to the beach, the mall, his birthday party, a track meet and his first school dance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs we view the world through Nick's eyes, we soon realize that, despite his challenges in many areas, particularly communication, his everyday life is very similar to that of other kids his age. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn His Shoes offers a valuable tool for classrooms, community groups and families to promote discussions about life on the autism spectrum. Through a series of \"Points to Ponder\" after each chapter, young readers learn ways to offer support and encouragement to individuals with autism disorders and similar challenges. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is great for students ages 11-15.
