Teaching and Behavior Support for Children and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Practitioner's Guide

This guide is an indispensible asset, appropriate for any behavioral specialist, on all aspects of this increasingly prevalent disorder.

It brings together contributed chapters on assessment, instruction, and behavioral intervention procedures unique to the autism population.

Each chapter covers a single topic according to a uniform format, which will ease comprehension and facilitate procedural adaptation in ""real world"" settings such as school, home, and the community. Usable advice and methods for teaching difficult skills, such as self-care, verbal language, and communication, are provided. Authored by recognized experts, the concise and readable chapters also feature forms, illustrations, summary tables, and resource lists to further guide practitioners in selecting ""best practice"" methods.

Taking into account specific settings, different age groups, and practitioner experience, this book will serve as a resource for educators, psychologists, and behavior specialists in the field of autism education and treatment, and as an educational tool for those enrolled in university classes training to become practitioners.
