Dedicated to the memory and work of Lisa Capps, this volume is a
forum for scholars and practitioners interested in the typical and
atypical development of persons with autism. Each chapter is
focused on theoretical considerations and the empirical evidence
regarding a specific aspect of functioning, but common themes of
development are considered throughout. Within this framework, the
contributors provide a detailed and comprehensive account of the
development of persons with autism. The book is divided into four
sections: (1) Developmental, Neurobiological, Genetic, and Family
Considerations; (2) Attention and Perception; (3) Cognition, Theory
of Mind, and Executive Functioning; and (4) Social and Adaptive
Behaviors. With the consideration of this broad range of topics,
this volume is both a state-of-the-art resource about autism and a
unique contribution to the study of development. It will be of
interest to researchers and care providers from several domains,
including psychology, psychiatry, social work, developmental
psychology, and education. This volume can be used as a text in
graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, and as a resource in
applied settings.

To work effectively with individuals who have autism spectrum
disorder (ASD), SLPs and other practitioners need in-depth
knowledge on choosing and implementing interventions for
communication and social challenges. The second edition of this
bestselling textbook gives professionals the foundation they need
to evaluate and compare today’s widely used interventions—and
determine which ones will promote the best outcomes for the people
they serve. The newest volume in the respected Communication and
Language Intervention Series, this accessible text combines the
expertise of more than 30 top autism authorities across multiple
disciplines and specialties, including psychology, speech-language
pathology, early intervention, special education, and AAC. Readers
will get a thorough introduction to 14 evidence-based
interventions, complete with key details on each intervention’s
theoretical and empirical basis, components, practical
requirements, applications for both children and adults, and
considerations for children from diverse cultural and linguistic
backgrounds. Twelve video clips (available for streaming)
illustrate the interventions in action, and highly relevant
learning activities prepare SLPs and other practitioners to make
sound decisions in scenarios they’re likely to encounter in the
field. WHAT’S NEW: New chapter on assessment for treatment
planning and progress monitoring New chapter on language and
communication strengths and challenges often seen in children with
ASD New in-depth profiles of three interventions not covered in the
last edition: the Early Start Denver Model, The SCERTS® Model, and
Social Skills Interventions Videos to demonstrate the newly added
interventions Updates to reflect the DSM-5, which includes
significant changes to the definition of ASD and new diagnostic
criteria More information on inclusive practices Expanded
discussion on working with children from culturally and
linguistically diverse backgrounds A sample syllabus that
demonstrates how faculty can integrate this book into a course

Over the last four decades, breakthroughs in genetic knowledge,
together with the emergence of disciplines devoted to the
scientific study of developmental disorders have resulted in much
greater awareness of the many different behavioural and genetic
phenotypes involved. It is now evident that not only do different
disorders have different causes and different manifestations, but
different neurological and biochemical bases, different responses
to intervention, and different life courses. Reflecting the
enormous changes that have taken place in our knowledge and
understanding of developmental disorders, this groundbreaking
international volume brings this vast and complex field together
for the first time. The Editors have collected together the world's
leading academic scholars and clinicians, to explore how current
research across a range of different disciplines can inform
clinical practice and help to improve the lives of individuals and
their families.

From leading clinical researchers, this book presents important
advances in understanding and treating the early
social-communication difficulties that are hallmarks of autism
spectrum disorders (ASD). It is grounded in current findings on
typically and atypically developing infants, toddlers, and
preschoolers. Contributors highlight the connections between ASD
and impairments in joint attention, communication and language,
play, and imitation. They review approaches to supporting
children's functioning in each area, along with evidence-based
screening and assessment strategies. Valuable advice is offered on
matching treatment to individual children's needs. The book also
explores the developmental and neurobiological processes that
underlie social-communication deficits in ASD.
