A practical and helpful book that provides a comprehensive approach to intervention for more able individuals with autism and Asperger Syndrome. The book is enhanced by use of cases and diagrams and has a practical orientation. It will be of great benefit to professionals and parents alike. --Fred R.

I love this book! In this much-anticipated publication, Aspy and Grossman have done an exceptional job at providing a user-friendly process and framework for designing comprehensive interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorders. It is a must-have reference for all educators, clinicians, and parents who work and live with children with ASD. --Amy E. Bixler, M.S., Educational autism administrator, O.C.A.L.I.
