Sally J. Rogers

One of the most used books in my home! I think every parent, whether they have a child with Autism or a Neurotypical, have to own this book! Using Everyday Activities to Help Kids Connect, Communicate, and Learn.

My personal Books that had a big impact:

by Marie Corelli

If I only could have one book this would be it. Very soul cleansing! written about 1895 and set in England. But the story is compelling and makes you think about God. It holds your interest as you follow a story of men being caught up in evildoing while not recognizing it because it is clothed in riches and beauty. A must read.

by Vladimir Megre

The first book was gifted to me by a dear friend. Her exact words where: “It’s weird but i think you’ll like it!” And I did! Very much so! It’s a fiction, but lot of things are so true there, I know, because I remember stories my great Grandma told, and some things I just feel are true!
