Exploring the Spectrum of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders: Intervention Strategies

Rating:
Summary: A Holistic Treatment Approach- Easy to read!
Review: This excellent book fills the gap in autism literature, by providing comprehensive yet easy-to-read explanations of the problems encountered in the autism spectrum and provides specific intervention strategies. It provides an integrated approach to looking at the problems. Treatment strategies address behavioral intervention, sensory integration, neuro-developmental treatment techniques, augmentative communication as well as traditional OT, PT and ST.

It is the first book I have found that tells you what you are seeing, why you see it and what to do about it! The case studies are wonderful and the pictures help clarify the treatment ideas.

This book is a must for anyone working with children in the spectrum of autism. It is critical for all professionals, therapists, teachers, and parents.
