Re: Review of Sabrina's book

To parents who do not have access to the Richard Foxx review in The Behaviour Analyst, here is another one by Dr. David Celiberti in the ASAT newsletter:

http://www.asatonline.org/pdf/fall2009.pdf

[Super Dad]

Parents, Grandparents, Therapists of Children with Autism

All of you know Dr. Richard Foxx as a true giant in the field of behaviour analysis. One of the most renowned and respected publications in the world, "The Behaviour Analyst" (Vol. 33, No. 1, 2010.) has just published Dr. Foxx’s six-page review of Dr. Sabrina Freeman's book,

"The Complete Guide to Autism Treatments: A Parent's Handbook:
Make Sure Your Child Gets What Works."

Sabrina's book gets top-rating for honesty, clarity and down-to-earth facts in a clear and understandable format. It is a must-read for everyone who has a child or works with a child who has Autism.

Thank you Sabrina.
