This handbook discusses early childhood special education (ECSE),
with particular focus on evidence-based practices. Coverage spans
core intervention areas in ECSE, such as literacy, motor skills,
and social development as well as diverse contexts for services,
including speech-language pathology, physical therapy, and
pediatrics. Contributors offer strategies for planning,
implementing, modifying, and adapting interventions to help young
learners extend their benefits into the higher grades. Concluding
chapters emphasize the importance of research in driving
evidence-based practices (EBP). Topics featured in the Handbook
include: Family-centered practices in early childhood intervention.
The application of Response to Intervention (RtI) in young children
with identified disabilities. Motor skills acquisition for young
children with disabilities. Implementing evidence-based practices
in ECSE classrooms. * Cultural, ethnic, and linguistic implications
for ECSE. The Handbook of Early Childhood Special Education is a
must-have resource for researchers, professors, upper-level
undergraduate and graduate students, clinicians, and practitioners
across such disciplines as child and school psychology, early
childhood education, clinical social work, speech and physical
therapy, developmental psychology, behavior therapy, and public
health.
The research on children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is
extensive and growing. Although these conditions are recognized as
affecting the entire lifespan, the literature on ASD after
childhood is limited and has not been brought together in a single
volume in over a decade. Adolescents and Adults with Autism
Spectrum Disorders fills this knowledge gap by focusing on needs
and difficulties unique to these stages of development. Expert
contributors offer cogent reviews of complex issues, from education
to employment, leisure activities to illegal behaviors, mental
health issues to medical health concerns. The latest findings in
key areas, such as psychosocial and residential treatments, social
skills programs, epidemiology, the impact of ASD on families, are
examined in detail. Throughout the volume, coverage focuses on
areas requiring improved models of assessment, updated data, new
interventions and increased support services. Featured topics
include: Transition from high school to adulthood for adolescents
and young adults with ASD. Innovative programming to support
college students with ASD. Romantic relationships, sexuality and
ASD. Treatment of mental health comorbidities. Assessment and
treatment planning in adults with ASD. The range of outcomes and
challenges in middle and later life. Adolescents and Adults with
Autism Spectrum Disorders is a must-have reference for a wide range
of clinicians and practitioners - as well as researchers and
graduate students - in clinical child, school and developmental
psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; social work;
rehabilitation medicine/therapy; education and general
practice/family medicine. It will also serve as an important
resource for parents and caregivers with its focus on translating
the current state of knowledge relevant to understanding
adolescents and adults with ASD into practical and relevant
recommendations on how best to support them.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been increasingly diagnosed
in recent years and carries with it far reaching social and
financial implications. With this in mind, educators, physicians,
and parents are searching for the best practices and most effective
treatments. But because the symptoms of ASDs span multiple domains
(e.g., communication and language, social, behavioral),
successfully meeting the needs of a child with autism can be quite
challenging. Evidence-Based Practices and Treatments for Children
with Autism offers an insightful and balanced perspective on topics
ranging from the historical underpinnings of autism treatment to
the use of psychopharmacology and the implementation of
evidence-based practices (EBPs). An evaluation methodology is also
offered to reduce the risks and inconsistencies associated with the
varying definitions of key autism terminology. This commitment to
clearly addressing the complex issues associated with ASDs
continues throughout the volume and provides opportunities for
further research. Additional issues addressed include: * Behavioral
excesses and deficits treatment * Communication treatment * Social
awareness and social skills treatment * Dietary, complementary, and
alternative treatments * Implementation of EBPs in school settings
* Interventions for sensory dysfunction With its holistic and
accessible approach, Evidence-Based Practices and Treatments for
Children with Autism is a vital resource for school psychologists
and special education professionals as well as allied mental health
professionals, including clinical child and developmental
psychologists, psychiatrist, pediatricians, primary care and
community providers.
