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.
