Publisher's Summary

Would You Teach a Fish to Climb a Tree?: A Different Take on Kids with ADD, ADHD, OCD and Autism provides us with a refreshing and new perspective on these children who are so different from their peers. Co-authored by three practitioners who have had remarkable success working with them, this audiobook is filled with practical tools, stories, observations, and life-changing questions that can be used by anyone who has one of these kids in their life and who is looking for something different.

These children are magical and you are sure to fall in love with many of them. There are many magical adults as well... those who are willing to step beyond what so many experts in the field advocate and into what they actually know to be effective with the children. Parents and siblings and relatives; teachers and therapists and administrators; peers and loved ones and friends... all will benefit from this groundbreaking audiobook.

The author claims to be telepathic

The book starts out as an advocating for differently abled children. Then moves into telepathic communication, past lives and taking to animals. Claiming that autistic children are psychic or telepathic and that they pick up symptoms telepathically from their parents and “you need to stop screwing him up with what’s going on in your head”.

As a mom with a special needs kid I can’t believe I wasted my valuable research time and money on this crap.

Not what you think.

I work with children on the spectrum and was looking for something a little mode scientific. I followed the philosophy until they tried to convince me those with autism are telepathic and clairvoyant. Very disappointing.

good until she got into telepathy and past lives??

I thought this was a book to advocate for neurodivergent children and adults but it quickly started to talk about talking to wolves and children being reincarnations of their ancestors....went off the rails.
