Book description
A new way of thinking about treatment planning to support children
with autism spectrum disorders
Grounded in solid theory, Treatment Planning for Children with
Autism Spectrum Disorders: An Individualized, Problem-Solving
Approachhelps educators and therapists who work with children with
autism spectrum disorders make sense of this confusing, often
conflicting, and rapidly evolving clinical and research treatment landscape.
Rooted in evidence-based practices, Chedd and Levine provide a 7-step
dynamic treatment planning process. The book shows how a variety of
current interventions and treatments can be incorporated into this
process and includes applications of different approaches for tackling
different problems. The nine illustrative case vignettes cover a wide
variety of ages, developmental challenges, learning and social
profiles, and school and family circumstances.
With a firm commitment to and focus on the child's best interests as
well as family needs and preferences, Treatment Planning for
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders offers professionals new
possibilities for enhancing the quality of life for children with ASDs.
