Do you have resources for Montessori for Autism?

There is a book out called Autism – A Montessori Approach, by Michelle Lane. Her website and book purchase info are here.

You can also visit montessori education for autism.

My daughter was also born with Down syndrome and I always wanted to try Montessori at home. Where do I start?  How effective it is?

You can read my long answer here!

We are getting ready for our first IEP, we have heard there is a book we should buy to help us with this process...

Yes, every parent of a special needs school-age child should consider The Complete IEP Guide: How to Advocate for Your Special Ed Child by Lawrence M. Siegel at Amazon.com; highly recommended in my area is a handbook (the Special Education Rights and Responsibilities Handbook) by CASE in San Francisco, check it out here.

For more specific questions or concerns, you can contact me here! I also recommend joining some of the special needs and Montessori and homeschool Yahoo Groups, I have found them to be very helpful!
