Redefining Anxiety by Dr. John Delony
This book is short and sweet. It’s a quick read and a great audio book. It gets to the point and offers strategies and takaways.
Teach Skills and Break Habits: Growth Mindsets for Better Behavior in the Classroom by Dan St. Romain
This book is a manual on how to work with students. This is on my list for my next book study. I am on my third read and my book is highlighted, scribbled in, and post it marked.
Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism by Barry M Prizant, PhD.
This book is written in a way that helps all those involved in the lives of people with autism. I think this should be a required book for all people! I just finished a book study with a group of educators who read this book. The reviews were all positive!
Make a Wish for Me: A Family’s Recovery From Autism by LeeAndra M. Chergey
I highly recommend reading this book from a family’s perspective. It is a great book and helps the reader gain empathy and understand what having a child with autism entails. I loved reading about the family’s journey. I felt like I cried with them, laughed with them, and loved with them.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Recommended! Keep in mind it’s outdated, but there is good information you can pull from it. I think you have to go into it knowing that the original copyright date is 1936.
