In 1955, she established the Linwood Children's Center in Ellicott City, Maryland, one of the first schools dedicated to children with autism. Her Linwood Model, developed there, was widely adopted and still forms the basis for a variety of autism intervention techniques. Incredibly--although unknown at the time--Jeanne was herself autistic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBehind the Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the remarkable tale of this trailblazer and how she thought, felt, and experienced the world around her. With moving immediacy, Jeanne tells her life story to developmental psychologist, friend, and collaborator Sabine Oishi. Jeanne's unique experience is supplemented by commentary from Dr. Oishi, who explains the importance of key biographical details and fills in additional information about the diagnosis and treatment of autism. Enhanced with a photo gallery, a look at new approaches to the education of children with autism, and a history of Linwood since its founding, the book also contains a foreword, an afterword, and an appendix by James C. Harris, MD, the past director of child psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the founder of its autism clinic. Demystifying the experience of autism, \u003ci\u003eBehind the Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e is a groundbreaking account of possibilities and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeanne Simons, Sabine Oishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421440768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421440767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Jeanne Simons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987551289599,"sku":"9781421440767","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33bc0e18-5426-4787-926f-64dcda617cad.jpg?v=1683289662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/behind-the-mirror-jeanne-simons-9781421440767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
