One of the largest and most complex human services systems in
history has evolved to address the needs of people with autism and
intellectual disabilities, yet important questions remain for many
professionals, administrators, and parents. What approaches to
early intervention, education, treatment, therapy, and remediation
really help those with autism and other intellectual disabilities
improve their functioning and adaptation? Alternatively, what
approaches represent wastes of time, effort, and resources?
Controversial Therapies for Autism and Intellectual Disabilities,
2nd Edition brings together leading behavioral scientists and
practitioners to shed much-needed light on the major controversies
surrounding these questions. Expert authors review the origins,
perpetuation, and resistance to scrutiny of questionable practices,
and offer a clear rationale for appraising the quality of various
services. The second edition of Controversial Therapies for Autism
and Intellectual Disabilities has been fully revised and updated
and includes entirely new chapters on psychology fads, why applied
behavioral analysis is not a fad, rapid prompting, relationship
therapies, the gluten-free, casein-free diet, evidence based
practices, state government regulation of behavioral treatment,
teaching ethics, and a parents' primer for autism treatments.
