Includes bibliographical references (p. [143]-154) and index. Making an accurate and timely diagnosis -- Autism: the experience for children, parents, and practitioners -- Applied behavioral analysis: the gold standard and beyond -- Sensory integration, systematic desensitization, and exercise: promoting interdisciplinary intervention in the mind-body relationship -- Addressing core social deficits -- The psychobiology of autism: coping with dietary retrictions, invasive procedures, and chronic pain -- Autism and academics: getting the appropriate education and IEP -- Newer treatments, resiliency, and hope for the future. "This text provides clinicians with a comprehensive guide for working with autistic children and their families. It offers practical assistance with early diagnosis, cutting-edge treatment options and goals, interdisciplinary insights, and available resources. Empirical research findings are presented in a clear, accessible manner. Perhaps most importantly, case examples bring both the therapist's and patient's experience to the fore as they work towards recovery."--Jacket. |
