The Assistant Principal has asked me to share with her any books, references or resources she can use to get more up to speed on supporting kids on the spectrum or with ADHD or both.  She completely messed up a response to a meltdown and she wants to be prepared to do better next time.

I respect her authenticity/ transparency in asking for help.  And I am hoping we can crowdsource the best possible book/ resource list for her.

My initial thoughts:
Ross Greene- The Explosive Child
Alan Kazdin- Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child (not sure this is the most school- appropriate)
Lauren Kenworthy- Unstuck and On Target

What else would you share?

She is primarily a discipline coordination point.  So she isn't in the weeds on supporting kids with dyslexia- so many excellent books there. I think something related to anxiety would be helpful sicne she doesn't have any counseling/ sped experience.  She was hired from a technology liaison/ support role.  So are there online groups of teachers/ administrators she could join that would be helpful?

From a teacher perspective, what helped you be successful in supporting your kids?

Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
