Dr Ross Greene returns as our guest. His first book "The Explosive Child" is considered the bible to parents with explosive and behaviorally challenged children. His second book "Lost At School" uses his unique model of care, Collaborative Problem Solving, to teach parents, educators and the child or teen themselves how to resolve issues and succeed. Absolutely, hands down the best book and program I have ever seen for dealing with explosive children. Special Thursday night edition.

A world-leading authority on the topic of autistic spectrum disorders, Dr. Coplan draws his inspiration from his work with children and their families. Dr. Coplan debunks the myths and unchallenged assumptions about ASD that bedevil parents trying to do the best for their child- and offers them hope as well - through a rigorous review of the scientific data. At the same time, Dr. Coplan never loses sight of the child and his or her family, or his own experience as the sibling of an individual with special needs.
