I was totally blown away by the Austin and Lily “Exceptional News” books. The format is so different than anything I have seen offered elsewhere. It is exactly what a self-contained class with intellectually disabled students of all ranges and abilities can actually use.

“I totally love the curriculum! My students get current information that is relevant to them and their peers. There are great graphics of things they see in real life. The history curriculum is fun and informative. Austin & Lily is definitely the best I’ve encountered (and I’ve seen a lot).”

“I love Austin & Lily’s units!! The books on birds are extremely interesting and attractive. My student “L” is learning so much about our flying (and flightless) birds. She was most impressed with the Vertebrates lessons! WOW … what an eye opener.”
