Reviews

Autism Spectrum Disorders presents the best validation criteria we currently have to offer children with ASD, and provides a blueprint for future work in this area. A long overdue wake-up call to the field, and one that is highly recommended. -- Gary Sasso, Chairperson, Department of Curriculum and Instruction This excellent compendium will prove invaluable for anyone who wants to identify and evaluate commonly used treatments and interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorders. -- Juane Heflin, Associate Professor ...the authors of the volume under review are to be commended for their efforts and for the resulting product. Simpson and colleagues have produced a resource that parents and professionals can consult with the confidence that the evaluations and judgments of the interventions are generally fair and reflect the scientific evidence available to date...the book fills an important need and can serve as a model and stimulus for similar work in the future. -- Donald P. Oswald PsycCRITIQUES
