5.0 out of 5 stars
A valuable reference book for educators and administrators, January 18, 2007
This review is from: School-age Education Programs For Children With Autism (Paperback)
This is the companion volume to "Preschool Education Programs for Children with Autism." Written for educators and administrators, this handbook highlights nine U.S. educational programs that are designed for school-age children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who require ongoing individualized instruction, whether in a public school or in a specialized program. The educational programs featured in this guide are located in public, private, and university-based settings, and each chapter is devoted to a specific program. The students described in these pages are between 6 and 21 years of age, and the chapter authors use the following criteria to present each of their programs: diagnosis and assessment methods; staffing and administration; curriculum, instructional management, and skill acquisition; integration; range of methods; family involvement; transitions from preschool to elementary, middle, and high school; and outcome measures. The book also includes sections on graduating from preschool and the transition from student to adult life. Chapter 9 profiles the TEACCH program at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Please visit our website to obtain both books at the actual list price.
