Appropriate for use with any age and ability level, this resource is a valuable tool for therapists, teachers, and parents. This edition presents an integrated approach to teaching and intervention. It incorporates strategies from recognized models such as structured play/Floortime, Structured Teaching, and Applied Behavioral Analysis that match the specific needs of each individual. Also includes strategies for conducting a comprehensive functional behavioral assessment and developing a positive behavior support system.

Nice group of authors - chapters specifically target areas of interest, you can a chapter here and there as you need, for reference or the whole book.

The book is out of print, therefore if one must have the textbook for a class as I did you are at the mercy of the sellers. That aside, the text explains in excellent detail the broad spectrum of disorders covered under the umbrella of autism.
