Media Reviews
Every developmental pediatrician, pediatric neurologist and child psychiatrist in the country should be handing out copies of Targeting Autism along with the diagnosis. It is a marvel. In just 186 warm and engaging pages Cohen asks and answers the questions all of us face when we make potentially life-altering decisions concerning our children's treatment and education. . . . I came away from this book with a vision. I know what my husband and I intend to do for our children--and I know what we need to be working for in the community. -- Narrative: Newsletter of the National Alliance for Autism Research
