The audiobook can be better than reading
Research has found that listening to an audiobook can be better than reading it. Many people who listen are able to recall and retain more information than those who read the book in the more traditional way.
We hope, then, that the audiobook version of Responsible and Responsive Parenting in Autism: Between Now and Dreams will help you better harness the key powers of caregiving: learning, loving and connecting.
Researchers also found that listening to a human voice can elicit an emotional response to the material, particularly with the author’s voice. Knowing that this was yet another way that listening to an audiobook can be better than reading it, I worked on providing an additional layer of emotional intelligence with the material. Throughout this project, Shahla and I wanted to show our empathy for each family’s journey, and foster more joy and awe in day-to-day life.
