The Autism Ambassadors Handbook: Peer Support for Learning, Growth, and Success
“This is an amazing idea from a young innovator! This manual provides an amazing contribution, not only to the field of professionals, but to future providers as well.”(Kate Boone, Case Manager)“What’s not to like aboutThe Autism Ambassadors Handbook? This book, written by a 18-year-old entrepreneur, provides a complete program that allows empathic students to teach vital skills to their autistic peers. Student-teachers, autistic students, and teachers all win with this curriculum. Did I mention that it is free to implement?”(Anne BeveridgeSeoul, Korea)“This book makes a distinct contribution by providing a different view of how to support students with autism. As the number of people with autism is increasing, creating awareness and supports across larger groups of people is important. Providing ways for students with ASD to interact and be supported by other students is needed.”(Mary Reeve, Educator)"Zak Kukoff has provided a program curriculum that simply doesn't exist. This program is just what we were looking for.  It's one thing to teach kids to be nice and accepting; it’s another to teach kids how to engage with their peers who have autism. The students who learn from the modules become incredible peer models, mentors and leaders.  Autism Ambassadors truly bridges the gap in social development programs for children with autism."(Nicole Simon, Director of Programming 2013-03-21)
