The number of children diagnosed with autism has increased
dramatically in the last decade, and a growing number of behavior
analysts, psychologists, educators, and speech pathologists-to name
a few-are just starting to regularly treat individuals with autism.
Children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) require
specialized instruction and behavior support to teach them critical
skills and establish a meaningful quality of life. However, these
objectives can only be achieved if professional and
paraprofessional service providers have access to the most
effective evidence-based and empirically supported methods for
teaching children with autism. Similarly, practitioners must know
about effective intervention methods that can be implemented to
reduce and eliminate problem behaviors frequently displayed by
people who have ASD. This guide is an indispensible asset,
appropriate for any behavioral specialist, on all aspects of this
increasingly prevalent disorder. Teaching and Behavior Support for
Children and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder brings together
contributed chapters on assessment, instruction, and behavioral
intervention procedures unique to the autism population. Each
chapter covers a single topic according to a uniform format, which
will ease comprehension and facilitate procedural adaptation in
"real world" settings such as school, home, and the community.
Usable advice and methods for teaching difficult skills, such as
self-care, verbal language, and communication, are provided.
Authored by recognized experts, the concise and readable chapters
also feature forms, illustrations, summary tables, and resource
lists to further guide practitioners in selecting "best practice"
methods. Taking into account specific settings, different age
groups, and practitioner experience, this book will serve as a
resource for educators, psychologists, and behavior specialists in
the field of autism education and treatment, and as an educational
tool for those enrolled in university classes training to become
practitioners.
