Autism Society of America Outstanding Literary Works of the Year

The Autism Society of America just held their national conference in Orlando, Fl the week of July 7th-July 12, 2008. Our own Jessica Champion represented the Autism Society of NC Bookstore at the event. As a vendor, she was able to sell some books and more importantly spread the word about the largest non-profit autism specific bookstore in America.

Every year at the ASA's national conference they announce the winners of the Outstanding Literary Work of the Year Award in two divisions, the first is Family/Social and the second is Education. The ASA feels that these titles have made a significant contribution to the broader autism community.
Winner of the 2008 Outstanding Literary Work of the Year Award in the Family/Social division is A Five is Against the Law! Social Boundaries Straight Up!



Winner of the 2008 Outstanding Literary Work of the Year Award in the Education division is The Ziggurat Model: A Framework for Designing Comprehensive Interventions for Individuals with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome

Both of these titles can be found, along with book reviews written by our staff on our website:www.autismbookstore.com
Please support your non-profit ASNC bookstore which supports the autism community in North Carolina.
