Tales from the Table is a practitioner's account of the successes and limitations of using Lovaas/ABA home education with five young boys on the autistic spectrum. The abilities and skills of these children before, during and after intervention are documented with a focus on the realities of undertaking Lovaas/ABA home education: the impact of a 35-hour learning week on both child and parents, changing tutors and issues of commitment to the approach. Each chapter includes a commentary on the programme from a different perspective, with the voices of parents, siblings and teachers providing the context to the individual children's learning processes. This book will help parents to make an informed decision about using Lovaas/ABA interventions and will give professionals and students practical insights and useful information on the approach.

I enjoyed reading Barbara and Margaret's first book, 2013 and Beyond, and I was heartened that they would continue with a second book to give us observations on their travels around the world. I wanted to read their thoughts on the condition of the Mediterranean Sea and their observations in Istanbul and later in India. I know you too will read 2013 And Beyond: Part II with great interest. Shirley Andrews, Massachusetts 2013 And Beyond: Part II focuses on the need for us Two-Legged Earth Guardians to work now in strong ways to heal our Mother Earth. Barbara and Margaret describe their particular ways to help heal our planet by using sacred music and Vortexes. Grandmother SilverStar of the Cherokee/Lakota Nation 2013 And Beyond: Part II has fascinating channeling and messages to help us understand Mother Earth's need for healing as well as the healing of all who live on her.

2013 and Beyond counters the dire prediction that life on our planet was ready to end probably December 21 or 22, 2012. We authors did not believe this, and, in fact, we believed the opposite. Our planet was ready for a new beginning. Yes, we agree there are many fractures on Mother Earth, most caused by those living on her. We are actively addressing these problems, and we write about our endeavors. When you read our book, maybe you too will look for ways to help our planet live a long, long time.
