Leo The Lion and The Kangaroos By Kerin Bellak-Adams

Click Here to Purchase:  Leo the Lion and the Kangaroos from IPBooks.net

The first publication of its kind, Leo the Lion and the Kangaroos is a short, imaginative, and practical book. The book is based on the heart-felt film, The Kangaroo Complex by Dr. Sarah Moon Howe. Kerin Bellak-Adams says her book “offers simple solutions to complicated problems.” The reader will be inspired to think creatively about the gifts and abilities of verbal and/or non-verbal individuals with Autism. The book’s theme offers a lighthearted, gentle and positive spin through a dialogue between Leo the Lion (the nickname of Dr. Leopold Bellak) and the other characters in the story.

Leo the Lion and the Kangaroos can be utilized with a range of approaches. This includes bedtime stories, elementary or high school library programs, and in group or individual settings led by a psychologist or neuropsychologist. It can also be used for undergraduate and graduate research with or without the CAT assessment (Children’s Apperception Test), which is a globally used clinical personality assessment.

Leo the Lion and the Kangaroos is a book that both children and adults will enjoy over and over again, and that it inspires everyone to pursue their dreams and or interests.
