The authors cover a wealth of information from methods for identifying the disorders to strategies for ameliorating learning and behavior problems associated with autism spectrum disorders. They focus on the importance of working with parents/guardians and caregivers to meet the needs of the children in their care. Recommended. -- Joyce Williams Bergin, Assistant Dean of the College of Education 20111117 Because the text offers so many practical tools, it will provide a distinctive contribution to education.
