'This book is a deeply informed and knowledgeable compendium of practice which offers the reader a balanced and well described account of the most prominent interventions available. Dr. Kalyva writes in an accessible and engaging way bringing to each approach a healthy scepticism and an enquiring mind. Crucially, this book regards the person with autism holistically and skilfully distils the theoretical into the pragmatic as we are encouraged to be selective in the approaches we adopt. This book is realistic, optimistic and leads us towards an understanding of the most appropriate interventions available for each individual with autism' - Martin Hanbury, Headteacher and Author

'Author Efrosini Kalyva...writes about recent scientific research and allows the reader to consider the pros and cons of each approach so they can decide which ones to use'-Autism Eye 'This book is a deeply informed and knowledgeable compendium of practice which offers the reader a balanced and well described account of the most prominent interventions available.

This is an important point to consider as an educator and one that is often hard to incorporate in a curriculum-driven world...this book fulfills its title perfectly and gives time to all the majour approaches in the filed of autism. It is a good read for parents, an interesting and thought-provoking read for professionals and a must for any students researching or begining to take an interest in the world of autism'Lora Storey, Special (NASEN)
