金石堂Increasingly, behavior analysts and other practitioners are serving children, adolescents, and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Given the diversity of the population being treated – symptoms, age, developmental level, etc., settling on the most effective treatment can be a challenge. The purpose of this book is to provide a logical, culturally sensitive, and values-based resource to aid practitioners in making informed decisions on the most effective treatment for any given client at any given time.
