Synopsis

"Sundays with Matthew: A Young Boy with Autism and an Artist Share Their Sketchbooks" by Matthew Lancelle and Jeanette Lesada is a positive and encouraging example of a special relationship between two artists sharing a passion for art and life. Since many children and youth with autism have well-defined special interests, it is valuable to determine what those interests are and find ways to use them to reinforce appropriate behavior. "Sundays with Matthew" demonstrates that using a special interest and talent is a proven way to help a child reach his full potential. Jeanette's sketchbook tips at the end of the book will inspire others to engage in similar ventures.
