These factors can be used to provoke thought and promote interaction between teens and caring adults. In this book you will not find the stories of movie stars, international leaders, or other celebrities. Although the content is based on personal experiences of successful people with disabilities, all of the people represented here would not be considered super-achievers in all areas of their lives. You'll hear the stories of everyday people striving for the best life has to offer. This book highlights advice from people who confront barriers as challenges rather than deterrents and who find insight and humor during trying times. It shares some of the attitudes, skills, and strategies that have contributed to the success of people with a wide range of disabilities, abilities, experiences, and personalities. The experts who provide the major content for this book share their dreams, goals, challenges, successes, and frustrations. They tell about their experiences and give advice about how to successfully transition from high school to college, careers, and independent living. Perhaps their stories will provide inspiration as you help those around you define and achieve success for themselves.

Instructors who use Differential Reinforcement Systems will find these CDs essential. Pop a CD into your CD player, select the track according to the interval you need, and repeat the track for a continuous reminder to catch your students “being good!” CD #1 has 1, 2, 3, and 5-minute intervals. CD #2 has 7 and 10-minute intervals. CD #3 has 15-minute intervals. Each track plays a distinct tone so that you can play more than one CD at a time for students needing different intervals and recognize which interval is sounding. Each tone is activated on a randomized, variable schedule (the three-minute tone sounds on average every three minutes). These tones also are a great tool for instructors who are teaching children to monitor their own behavior. (set of 3 CDs)
