On the Yellow Brick Road

We are all on some type of search to find home, a place we feel supports our uniqueness, our curiosities, our passions; acknowledges our contributions; helps us feel connected; and, most of all, offers us safety, love, and a sense of well-being. In this book, Karen Kaplan takes us on her search to find her own home through her dedication to children with autism, to give hope to the families who love and support them and the professionals who mentor and inspire their growth. The Yellow Brick Road is her metaphor for the journey each of us takes, including the child with autism and his or her family, with all its tests, adventures, ordeals, rewards, and transformations. Karen's story provides insight, understanding, helpful ideas and strategies, and, most importantly, a way to see possibilities and capabilities instead of disabilities.
