What people are saying about
The Little Boy Who Wanted a Dinosaur Tail!
- "Children with special needs often bring great pleasure to their
families, although in ways are not appreciated by the general public.
It is important that the special nature of these children and the delights
that they can provide be known to them, and I was pleased that your book
would be available for this purpose". --Gerald Erenberg, M.D.,
Pediatric Neurologist, The Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital.
- "I'd have to say that this is a heartwarming story about a wonderful
little boy who loved his dinosaur tail. I suppose you'd have to
mention too that, by the way, Marty suffers from autism. I believe
this book will help others to understand that children with special needs,
such as autism, are children first and foremost".--Steve
Lawrence, M.D.
- "I think this book about Marty and his new tail is charming.
Children with autism often have very specialized interests that they are
passionate about. Autism is now thought to be a 'spectrum' disorder, occurring
in varying degrees of severity from the child who doesn't speak and has many
sensory problems, to the very mild where the child is very verbal and has a
certain interest that he talks about all the time. The two major
impairments in autism are in communication and socialization, but a person
with autism can learn, grow, and change, with the right supports. Some
children with autism have an unusually developed talent that can be
nurtured, so that they may become an artist or a musician. The sky's
the limit!" --Anne Carpenter, Librarian, Autism Society
of Michigan.
