As a teacher, Jim Yerman has "lived with autism" for over thirty years. In many ways, his students have become part of his family. And, as with a family, he has learned to laugh and find humor in the absurdity of everyday situations, for they certainly exist! This book chronicles some of those situations. Most of them are humorous, some are sad, and a few are downright surreal. But they are all real, refreshing, and honest experiences about autism. Each student, each story has important lessons infused. Ride through Jim's teaching history from Ohio to Florida, from working in an integrated university school, into a center for only special-needs students and back to a regular middle and high school. You're in for a wild ride!

So You Want to Be a Special Education Teacher Hold On You're In for a Wild But Rewarding Ride! eBook Jim Yerman
For the past few years, I've been considering leaving the field of marketing -- which I've worked in for nearly 20 years -- and going into teaching. Special education was one of the specialties I was considering, so I picked up this book. This is such an informative and inspiring read. It brought up many issues I hadn't considered, such as the occasional student who's physically aggressive and specific challenges with integrating special-needs students into mainstream schools. But beyond that it stresses that teaching special education is a reciprocal process; instructors have as much to learn from their students as their students do from them. Jim Yerman has an ease with words and a wonderfully self-deprecating, humble sense of humor. His candor means that he doesn't gloss over the fact that teaching special education is an immensely challenging line of work, but he also demonstrates how rewarding it is. This book is funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking, and it was the final push I needed toward applying for a special education teacher licensure program. Thank you, Mr. Yerman!Product details

So You Want to Be a Special Education Teacher Hold On You're In for a Wild But Rewarding Ride! eBook Jim Yerman Reviews
My son and his girlfriend are both elementary ed and special ed majors. He bought this book for her for Christmas. She read it cover to cover and loved it. So, I bought it for my son. He was thrilled!
Excellent book--a book you can laugh out loud at. True stories about the special education classroom that educate readers on how to handle situations that can happen every day. It shows that teaching special education is never dull and keeps you on your toes. It also shows an educator who is ready to give whatever it takes to make the most out of education for every one of his students.
Jim Yerman has put into words the wonders of daily life with persons who are disabled! As the parent of a mentally handicapped child, I know all too well the wild ride we climb on when we meet a disabled child. Jim tells his stories with humor, love and incredible respect! How wonderful to have someone like him teaching our children--and now sharing with us the lessons he has learned!! This is a must read for families with disabled children and an absolute must read for anyone in special education!
Once I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. I loved the way Jim shares the joys and struggles of working with kids with Autism in such a unique way. As he tells real-life stories, sometimes humorous and sometimes not so much, one can see the absolute love he has for this unique group of individuals. I highly recommend this book even if you are not a special education teacher. It makes for good reading for anyone. "Laughing and Loving With Autism" by Wayne Gilpin, also offers light-hearted reading for a sometimes very challenging syndrome, and through his stories, gives a much needed understanding.
I also teach children with severe autism .
I needed a pick me , something to remind me why I had chosen this path . You get broken down and frustrated . It's those lime victories that make it all worth it .
I cried and laughed and nodded in agreement ,
Read it !
I don't care if you teach sped, have a child on the spectrum, or are just curious.
You will be thrilled you did , I promise .
Well written , flowed , thumbs up read .
This is a great read. Not just for teachers but for everyone. It helps you understand special education from every point of view
As described...thank you!
