This book examines real life reflections on Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASD), current practices and issues related to assessing,
instructing and life-long planning for individuals with autism and
developmental disabilities. School systems, mental health
facilities, and society are being challenged to deal effectively
with the growing number of people with autism and developmental
disabilities. This is partly due to the inclusive philosophy of
educating, training and treating individuals. This book provides
regular, special educators, mental health professionals, clinicians
and parents with information on best practices and research based
findings related to: identification, characteristics, diagnosis;
special, general, early and post-secondary education; and quality
of life concerns. The book's chapters are topical, comprehensive
and diverse. Chapters on assessment examine the emerging field of
infant mental health, testing protocols, barriers to diagnosing
diverse students, and recent developments in the diagnosing and
assessment of autism spectrum disorders i.e. genetic testing, home
movies and robots. A number of chapters on instructional aspects
delineate curriculum innovations, procedures to implement social
skills, assistive technology use and planning for postsecondary
education. Life long planning, provides unique content on
self-determination, social competence, sibling aspects, and
employment and retirement considerations.
