Parents of children with autism have so much to learn and to manage, it's easy for them to feel alone and become emotionally drained. But there is a framework for making progress, whether the child is newly diagnosed or an adult. Reviewers call Responsible and Responsive Parenting in Autism: Between Now and Dreams a first-stop, must-read for parents, family members and caregivers.
The essence of any parenting journey relies on learning, connecting and loving. Each power informs the other. Each amplifies the other. Each power is essential for meaningful, courageous parenting. Writing with compassion and empathy, Shahla Ala'i-Rosales, a professor and clinician who's worked with hundreds of autism families, and Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe, a science writer and parent of an adult with autism, teamed up to offer effective, practical suggestions. Learn how to harness your parenting powers and tailor both scientific information and cultural wisdom to your family's needs.
"In their heartfelt guide, Shahla Ala’i-Rosales and Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe deliver a transformative approach to learning, connecting, and loving as both parents and clinicians. Brimming with practical advice, personal anecdotes, and proven strategies, this book equips readers with the essential tools to forge deeper connections and cultivate a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive. A must-read for anyone devoted to understanding and loving a person with autism, this work is an indispensable resource for both personal and professional growth." – Bridget A. Taylor, PsyD, BCBA-D; Cofounder and CEO, Alpine Learning Group
"The second edition of Between Now and Dreams should be required reading for anyone who knows someone parenting an autistic child. In clear and concise prose, the authors provide a parenting road map that is more empathetic than it is sympathetic, is evidence-based, and is accessible.
By the way, it is not enough to buy this book. You need to buy a copy of this book to share with everyone in your circle who would benefit from this level of enlightenment." – Peter Gerhardt, Executive Director, EPIC
