Why Do They Do That? opens the conversation about children with Autism, disabilities, and special-needs. This story is intended to help curious little minds begin to understand those who may not behave or look like they do. Written by Sandy Stozen, a Special Education Teacher for over thirty years and mom to Tyler, who has severe Autism. Since the time her son was two years old, his behaviors would often invoke stares, comments, and sadly criticisms from people. Children would ask their parents, "What is he doing?" and the parent''s response was often, "Don''t stare!" She watched parents struggle to respond to their child''s natural curiosity and her mission to educate them began!
