A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Toni Boucher has had the same mission for 27 years. To help autistic individuals live safe, healthy, happy and productive lives. Her articles on autism and sensory integration are referenced worldwide by families, doctors, psychologists and therapists and have helped to fundamentally change the way we offer interventions by addressing anxiety and sensory challenges first. She is the author of Autism Translated: 5 Keys to Help You Understand & Connect With Teens and Adults on the Spectrum. While she shares her message with as many people as possible through writing, nothing gives her more happiness than helping individuals develop the necessary skills to get and keep meaningful employment through training, coaching and consultation. She facilitates ongoing groups for teens and adults as well as a parent support group. Her own daughter was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at age 11 and is now a thriving adult. Although Toni was never diagnosed, her clients and people who know her well say Asperger's is the reason she “gets it”. She always drives the speed limit and loves reading the dictionary in her spare time. You can connect with Toni at toniboucher.net
