'Sue Larkey knows the problems associated with inclusion not only from her experience as a teacher herself, but also from her academic knowledge and qualifications and from her intuitive understanding of autism. She has a remarkable ability to identify and briefly explain the difficulties experienced by a child with autism in a regular classroom and to suggest realistic and practical strategies to improve abilities and behaviour. Her advice is succinct and wise. This book is precisely what teachers ask for and need.' - from the Foreword by Tony Attwood
Sue Larkey has taught both as a primary school teacher and as a special education teacher – teaching students with Autism Spectrum Disorder in a mainstream and at a specialist Autism school.
