A Required and Invaluable Textbook For Preparing Educators and So Much More!
This book as well as the previous edition is one of two main textbooks required for obtaining an certificate and license in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) at Hamline University in St. Paul, MN. Chapters from this book, fit the philosophy and rigor of 6 different courses. Not only is it designed for university students, it is an invaluable resource for those in the field as well as parents of individuals with ASD. The fact that chapters are written by individuals with direct experience as well as those with ASD, makes it a relevant and invaluable resource. The added chapters in the second edition bring in evidence based practices in a meaningful way. A chapter on emotional regulation provides students, practitioners and parents with key information and strategies to support individuals with these skill deficits. Finally an additional chapter on how to use an individual’s special interests in the classroom might be the “Golden Key” to success for many individuals and may result in positive change in so many areas. Our student rave about the information, case studies and insight this textbook brings to their studies. It truly helps us to celebrate the gifts and support the challenges that individuals on the spectrum live with each and everyday in schools, homes and their communities.

Excellent Research Based Text
As a student specializing is ASD, I am eating up all of the information in this book. For any professional interested in better understanding barriers in development and thought the life time of an individual on the spectrum this is an excellent source. It is written in a reader friendly manner and would be appropriate for a parent wanting to learn more about ASD and options for treatment their learner may have. There are so many places to find wrong information on ASD. This text has the right information.
