Please email me on charman home @ tiscali .co.uk (without the spaces) with your name and address and I will keep your details for when the book comes back.The Handle therapist we see is in east London, he also has a practice in Brighton. I think there is a list of practitioners on the Handle website. Where do you live? Yahoo! Mail is the world's favourite email. Don't settle for less, sign up for your free account today.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 http://www.handle.org/index2.html If you follow link all the UK providers are listed (I don't know who uses) they cost more or less depending on experience but you could request for an intern to do the assessment (under supervision) if they are too expensive. Where in East London are you - I'm in Wanstead. > > I would like to borrow this book about Handle from the library. > > Hi Gobika > I promised the book to someone else yesterday but you can have it as > soon as they have finished with it.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hello, and thank you for advising about Bluestone's book. I just bought it and it is absolutely inspiring. Every time I think I know " it all " about autism, up pops a book that turns me on my ear. I wish books like these could come out of the woodwork easier so that oiks like me could have read them ages ago. Every few months i come across a book that just stuns me. This is one of them. > > Hi I've been doing Handle with Joe for about 4 months now.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 The fabric of autism, by Judith Bluestone..... Handle practitioners are hard to find, we have one who lives just past Huddersfield in Yorkshire.
