Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder ASD

Description

“This book provides comprehensive coverage of behavioral approaches to autism services from early intervention to adolescent services, and includes other important material such as screening and diagnosis. James Luiselli’s extensive background in the field is apparent. He is a licensed psychologist, certified health service provider, diplomat in behavioral psychology from The American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA-D), an unusual combination. The book fits in that niche between graduate school course work and practitioner training and resource guide. Definitely a keeper.” -Travis Thompson, PhD, Professor and Lecturer, Special Education Program, University of Minnesota

“Poised to become the prominent reference on ASD, this book is the first to address the important challenges of ASD as a new diagnostic category in the DSM-5. Heavily referenced and written in a scholarly fashion, this skillfully edited book is a must-have for professionals in advanced academic and research settings, as well as for clinicians who are involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and educational planning for these children and youth. No other book compares to the extensive depth and breadth of this timely edition, reflecting as it does the current knowledge and best practice applications and guiding future inquiry fostering best research-to-practice methods.” –Michael S. Goldsby, Doody’s Health Sciences Book Review
