Editorial Reviews
Review
"Autism Spectrum Disorders presents the best validation criteria we currently have to offer children with ASD, and provides a blueprint for future work in this area. A long overdue wake-up call to the field, and one that is highly recommended." (Gary Sasso, Chairperson, Department of Curriculum and Instruction )
"This excellent compendium will prove invaluable for anyone who wants to identify and evaluate commonly used treatments and interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorders." (Juane Heflin, Associate Professor )
"...the authors of the volume under review are to be commended for their efforts and for the resulting product. Simpson and colleagues have produced a resource that parents and professionals can consult with the confidence that the evaluations and judgments of the interventions are generally fair and reflect the scientific evidence available to date...the book fills an important need and can serve as a model and stimulus for similar work in the future." (Donald P. Oswald PsycCRITIQUES )

Resource and reference book for my master's project,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Autism Spectrum Disorders: Interventions and Treatments for Children and Youth (Paperback)
I purchased this book to use as reference and resource for my master's project. My advisor led me to it and at first I was going to borrow a copy. Now I am glad that I bought it, definitely worth the price. It has lots of stuff in it; various interventions, articles to go look at, etc. Being a book worm like I am and a nerd to boot it was like Christmas in June. I use it daily for my project, often for my work with this population and have recommended it to colleagues. It is clear to read, has quick reading graphs and gets to the point fast.

Good resource for convincing schools,
By
This review is from: Autism Spectrum Disorders: Interventions and Treatments for Children and Youth (Paperback)
I think this is a pretty good resource for parents who are trying to convice schools to use interventions that have the support of research behind them. It's written at a level that most lay-people could understand, but gives brief descriptions of each intervention and the research behind it.
