Similar to a handbook in its comprehensive description of the
theory and research supporting current practices in the treatment
of autism spectrum disorders, this interdisciplinary text shows how
the existing knowledge base can be used to explore promising new
possibilities related to the field's many unanswered questions. Key
features include the following:
Comprehensive ? This is the first book to consider the history
and current state of autism as a field in transition, to cover its
varied approaches and philosophies, and to describe the
interventions used throughout the developmental cycle.
Cross Disciplinary ? Serving students with autism necessitates
communication and collaboration among professionals from several
disciplines as well as family members. The editors have, therefore,
brought together divergent perspectives, theories and philosophies
in order to demonstrate that scientific evidence, rather than
educational orientation, must determine which practices should be
selected for use in particular situations.
Research Based ? Whereas many existing texts advocate a
particular type of treatment, this one recognizes that
interventions must be selected and evaluated based on the
scientific evidence of their effectiveness.
Integrated Methodology ?Chapter authors consider findings from
studies that employed single-subject designs, experimental
large-scale studies, and qualitative methodology. The
inter-relatedness of therapies and disciplines will be highlighted
throughout.
Expertise ? The volume editors are all highly visible
researchers in autism and developmental disabilities. Likewise,
each chapter is directed by a senior, highly accomplished author
who is nationally recognized for his/her work in the topic being
addressed.
This book is appropriate for practicing professionals in
education and psychology and for speech/language therapists and
other clinicians. It is also suitable as a graduate level text in
these fields.
