This book gives teachers and parents hope by examining the positive 

attributes of ADHD and builds on characteristic strengths. By 

embracing, rather than resisting differences in ADHD students, a 

productive and rewarding learning relationship is possible. A New View 

of AD/HD examines research and offers practical insight into how 

to get the best out of distracted students. A common-sense approach 

offers concise action steps. Frustration will be dramatically reduced and 

effectiveness will increase by understanding how to identify and teach to 

strengths instead of focusing on areas of weakness.

autism detection in 

early childhood (adec) 

By Dr Robyn Young 


ADEC is an extremely effective, validated screening 

tool for identifying autism and autistic tendencies in 

children as young as 12 months. Until now, autism 

has typically gone undiagnosed in younger children 

due to a lack of awareness of the behaviours that can 

indicate autism in preverbal children. ADEC clearly 

identifies and details these behaviours. Those at risk can 

be screened and referred for a more formal diagnosis, 

enabling much needed support at an early stage of 

development – an important contributor to successful 

intervention. 

ADec kit includes: manual, DVD, score sheets (pkg 10) 

and a set of stimulus materials.

By Dr Robyn Young, Carrie Partington and

SPECTRA is a comprehensive intervention reference 

guide for psychologists, special needs teachers, 

therapists and early childhood educators working with 

children with autism spectrum disorder. It provides 

a developmental framework as well as step-by-step 

instructions on how to implement a behaviour program 

to teach autistic children a comprehensive range of 

skills, starting with skills that are typically lacking in 

these children. SPECTRA includes a progress map and 

simple checklists that allow for the identification of the 

child’s developmental level, skills mastered and areas 

that need attention and learning. 

Specific exercises and activities cover a wide range 

of learning areas including basic skills like attention, 

compliance and appropriate play, receptive and 

expressive communication, mathematics, reading and 

writing, making choices and daily living skills.

Making Sense of Asperger’s is the end result of a mother’s request for 

help. Elaborating on the analogy between Asperger’s syndrome and a 

computer’s operating system, this picture storybook explains Asperger’s 

as one possibility within the range of differences between all people. In 

a world where most people come equipped with a Standard Operating 

System, it describes in a validating and fun way exactly what an 

Asperger’s Operating System is, how it works, the compatibility issues 

that can arise and how to live with one, crashes and all.

What teachers need to Know 

about students with disabilities 

By Peter Westwood 


What Teachers Need to Know About Students 

with Disabilities provides a concise overview of 

the disabilities that teachers may encounter in their 

classrooms, and how these disabilities impact on 

students’ learning and development. Main topics 

include: intellectual disability, autism, Asperger’s 

syndrome, other pervasive developmental disorders, 

physical and health impairments, vision and hearing 

impairments, language and learning disorders, and 

emotional and behavioural disorders. The book is not 

intended to be an exhaustive list of all disorders and 

conditions. Instead, the author describes the main 

features of a wide range of commonly occurring 

disabilities, the priority needs of individuals with these 

disabilities and effective methods for teaching these 

students.

success and dyslexia 

sessions for coping in the upper primary years 

By Nola Firth and Erica Frydenberg 


Success and Dyslexia is a unique, evidence-based program that assists 

all upper primary students, but especially those with dyslexia, to 

increase their ability to take control of and cope well with the problems 

that occur in their lives. Because dyslexia is often highly resistant 

to improvement despite dedicated literacy and numeracy teaching 

interventions, this groundbreaking resource focuses instead on adaptive 

coping skills as a powerful determinant of life success. Underpinned 

by cognitive behavioural principles and recent coping and learning 

disabilities research, Success and Dyslexia concentrates intensively on 

three key skill areas: awareness and strengthening of current coping 

methods, challenging self-defeating thoughts, and assertion skills to 

discover needs and ask appropriately for support.

Free Spirit Publications 2003 

Being a gifted education teacher has always posed special challenges. 

Two veteran educators of the gifted explain: how to set the foundation 

for a gifted program; how to evaluate, identify and select students; 

how to plan and implement a range of programming options (including 

differentiated instruction in the regular classroom, ability grouping, 

pull-out classes, special classes for gifted students, weighted grades and 

others); and how to conduct ongoing program evaluation. Chapters cover 

how to network and build support among parents, other teachers and 

students, and how to develop survival skills needed at a time when gifted 

education is questioned, threatened and underfunded.

This title draws on international research about learning difficulties 

to present a clear picture of the issues involved. It focuses on early 

identification, so that intervention can prevent or minimise the negative 

outcomes of persistent failure and explains how teachers can address 

problems effectively. Problems of socialisation and behaviour are 

discussed and brief coverage is given to students’ specific difficulties 

with reading and mathematics. A comprehensive range of links to 

additional sources of information will help teachers find positive 

solutions for their students.

PRO-ED 1998 

The LDDI is a reliable and valid norm-referenced rating 

scale designed to help psychologists, diagnosticians, LD 

specialists, speech pathologists and others identify and 

diagnose intrinsic processing disorders and learning 

disabilities in students. It is not an ability or achievement 

measure (i.e. it will not tell you how well or how poorly 

students read, write, speak, etc). Instead, the LDDI will 

tell you the extent to which students’ skill patterns in a 

particular area (e.g. reading, writing) are consistent with 

those individuals known to have learning disabilities in 

that area (e.g. dyslexia, dysgraphia). 

lDDI kit includes: manual and rating summary booklets
