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

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.
