annoying narration

This book is packed with numerous suggestions for working with kids with autism. However, the narrator's voice is sappy sweet with numerous changes in inflection. it sounds like she was reading a book to grade-schoolers encouraging them to brush their teeth. Although I liked the suggestions, I was not able to finish the book due to the narration.

So sorry I purchased it

I was so unhappy with this book. The narrator was very difficult to listen to with her sing song voice. She is best suited for a child’s story. The contents were not what I was searching for. Think twice before making this purchase. I am sure there are many other good reads on the subject of Autism.
