Published by the AAPC Publishing Company in 2006, we regret to inform you that Sundays with Matthew is no longer in print, but some used copies can still be found online.

I first met Matthew in 2001 through the Wisconsin Early Autism Program (WEAP).  They lost their funding so my position went from paid therapist to volunteer, which gave me the freedom to do art therapy with Matthew more often.

Drawing ideas and thoughs out on paper helped Matthew discuss things, and he enjoyed drawing as much as me, so sketchbooks became a regular part of our time together, and we decided to make a book out of it.

Thanks to the AAPC, (Autism Asperger Publishing Company),  this little hardcover book became a reality and hit the shelves of our local Barnes & Noble.

I think kids on the spectrum can be highly creative, and our hopes with this book were to inspire others to pick up a sketchbook and talk.
