-Saira Pester, Special Children
'A regular one hour lesson using the Waldon Approach can have a significant and lasting impact. It is refreshingly low-tech, and complements and reinforces the student's learning and activities throughout the rest of their day. But, most important, it provides a framework for understanding how children learn and how children who have difficulties might be helped'
-Peter Bowker, Teacher of the Waldon Approach
'Geoffrey's theories were about development and learning and they were applicable to everyone at every stage of life. Although his ideas were actually far broader, he became identified with learning disabilities and with autism. But anyone, from any culture or of any age, could benefit'
-John Gooding Teacher of the Waldon Approach
'Author Walter Solomon is a father
inspired to write about his son and the
educational programme which the
author feels was crucial to his son
overturning the experts’ expectations to
become an employed, happily married
man...He puts his case convincingly,
leading you into an understanding of the
method, rather than trying to define it up
front.This is a book I am going to treasure'
- Communication
'This is an important book for mental health professionals about the Waldon approach to child development, and based originally on the author's experience with his son...This is clearly a philosophy that deserves to be more widely known, and the author has done a fine job in this respect'
-David Lorimer, SCI-MED Network News
The book includes:
- The inspirational and well documented story of the author's son, diagnosed at two with autism and as 'basically sub-normal', now a successful professional with a wife and child.
- An introduction to Geoffrey Waldon's theory and working methods.
- Testimony from parents and teachers, covering autism and a range of learning difficulties.
This book does not offer a 'miracle cure' for autism, although the author aims to counteract the prevailing view that autism is a lifetime condition. The author demonstrates that with the appropriate intervention, children with autism - and other special needs - can gain a fuller understanding of the world and learn to take a constructive and contributing place in it.
Teachers, therapists, doctors, parents and special interest groups will find this book an important and potentially transformational read.
Listen to a podcast of Walter Solomon discuss the story of his son Robert, the motivation behind his new book and how to get started using the Waldon Approach. Listen here
