The many gifted and spirited children the author works with at Adaptive art. Respite. & Therapeutic play. Services (A.R.T.S.) inspired her to write this book. Often times, she noticed children felt misunderstood at home and school, and in the community. This book helps children understand how they are wired and it gives them a way to communicate without having to express it verbally or face-to-face. It provides something concrete that could be individualized and given to new teachers, coaches, or friends to help them understand who the child is and how he or she functions best. Another very important lesson acquired from this book is, it teaches children how to become advocates for themselves.
