This second edition examines the rapidly expanding research base on numerous factors associated with treatments for children, youth, and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It offers up-to-date, comprehensive analysis of evidence-based treatments for autism, providing coverage on interventions in social skills training, school curricula, communication and speech training, and augmentative communication. In addition, the handbook addresses treatments for adolescents and adults, including vocational programs, social integration programs, and mental health resources. Chapters review several popular interventions, including pivotal response training (PRT), discrete trial training (DTT), TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication-handicapped CHildren), and positive behavior support (PBS).
Key areas of coverage include:
- Substantiated and unsubstantiated interventions in autism.
- Basic principles of applied behavior analysis(ABA) and autism interventions.
- Parent and staff training in autism interventions.
- Treatment of addiction in adults with autism.
- Use of psychotropic medicines in autism interventions.
The Second Edition of the Handbook of Treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder is an essential reference for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other professionals in clinical child, school, and developmental psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, clinical social work, public health, behavior therapy, and all interrelated disciplines.
