Susan Aud Sonders, M.ED has over twenty years of experience teaching children with autism. She has created and refined techniques that develop crucial communication skills, and has presented numerous seminars detailing the methodology of her Giggle Time program.

Giggle Time is a step-by step program for parents, teachers and other professionals to help develop the non-verbal, verbal and social reciprocity skills of children with autism. It describes in accessible detail how to communicate with children with autism spectrum conditions and gives clear instructions on how-to techniques for developing language skills. Specifically addressing developmental delay, Giggle Time helps to lay the necessary framework for future  language  growth by turning the actions the child initiates into interactions with meaning. This is a user-friendly guide, packed full of fun and child-centered exercises that can be carried out at home or in the classroom.
