For both the new parent coping with a child's recent diagnosis and one who's an experienced advocate, CHILDREN WITH AUTISM is a must-have reference. It is the authoritative guide on autism and other conditions within the spectrum of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD).

Completely revised and updated, CHILDREN WITH AUTISM covers daily and family life, early intervention, educational programs, legal rights, advocacy, and a look at the years ahead with a chapter on adults with autism. Parents can turn to this new edition for the latest information on current diagnostic criteria, Applied Behavior Analysis, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), autism advocacy via the Internet, and much more.

Pair this book with one of our NON-BOOK PRODUCTS, items that help children with autism be safe, productive, and independent.
