Do any of you have a recommendation of books or resources that she could read up on especially about young children? The easiest read possible the better.

I am chiming in to agree with the previous posts about First Steps, or early intervention. Tell your friend to contact the school district that the grandchild is in. Early intervention was invaluable to me when it came to diagnosing and treating my son. After pulling my hair out, and going to doctor after doctor trying to convince them that something was not quite right with my son....having that resource was a life-saver. I don't know where either of us would be now without it.
