Effective Programs for Treating Autism Spectrum Disorder is written
for teachers, parents, and the many service providers who work with
individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Part one reviews
the characteristics of ASD, summarizes major theories and research
findings regarding cause(s) of ASD, and discusses the most popular
treatment claims, examining each approach's scientific base and
value. Part two provides an informative overview of applied
behavior analysis, focusing on the principles of learning and basic
procedures based upon those principles. These two parts provide a
foundation for understanding the strategies implemented by the
outstanding treatment programs described in Part three. The eight
models described in Part three represent comprehensive,
evidence-based programs for the treatment of persons with ASD, from
infancy through adulthood. Programs reviewed include the Lovaas
Institute, Koegel Center, Strategic Teaching and Reinforcement
Systems (STARS), Project DATA, New England Children's Center, May
Institute, Princeton Child Development Institute, and Judge
Rotenberg Center. Strategies explained include intensive early
behavioral intervention, Pivotal Response Training, verbal
behavior, script fading, social stories, visual activity schedules,
functional analysis, the Picture Exchange Communication System, and
the Family-Teaching Model.
