Reviews for What to Do about Smearing: A Practical Guide for Parents and Caregivers of People with Autism, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities
This book will help with understanding a condition that is distressing and challenging for both carers and professionals. It explores the underlying causes and gives practical approaches for help.
