BEST-SELLING VOLUME IN THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (APA) APPLYING PSYCHOLOGY IN SCHOOLS SERIES                                                                                School professionals and clinicians share the challenge of identifying and providing interventions for the increasing number of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This book is an authoritative resource that presents up-to-date research and evidence-based tools for accurate assessment and intervention. It includes procedures to help identify children using the new DSM-5 symptom criteria and offers essential guidance for assessing a variety of emotional, behavioral, and academic problems. The book provides practitioners with an evidence-based assessment battery, which includes tests of cognitive, academic, neuropsychological, and adaptive functioning. The pragmatic, social-communicative functions of language are considered together with assessments to identify language deficits. Readers will learn to identify co-occurring emotional and behavior problems of children with ASD and will also learn techniques and strategies to enhance home-school partnership and engage parents as active partners in the decision-making process. Each chapter is based on the principles of evidence-based practice. Many chapters also use case vignettes to illustrate best practice in the school setting. The volume concludes with a primer on ASD-related litigation issues and discusses relationships between special education law, provision of services, and placement decisions.

Review

This concise book provides a comprehensive and very readable introduction to best practices in the assessment and treatment of ASD in school settings. It succinctly informs the professional reader about the theoretical and research foundations underlying its many suggestions for practice, which are further enhanced by the liberal use of vignettes. - PsycCRITIQUES

Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children and Adolescents: Evidence-Based Assessment and Intervention in Schools serves as an excellent resource for professionals working with children with ASD in educational settings and covers many fundamental aspects that need to be considered in assessment and intervention practices. Overall, this book thoroughly integrates current research and theory as well as relevant practice in school settings and will allow practitioners to further their conceptual understanding of assessing and treating ASD. - Canadian Journal of School Psychology

An excellent and accessible synthesis of the evidence base for school-basedinterventions in ASD and a comprehensive look at the psychological profile ofthe child with autism. - The Association for Child and Adolescent MentalHealth

Wilkinson has fashioned a very good book for ASD school practitioners, with commendable interdisciplinary appeal and a much needed dose of empiricism! - NewEngland Psychologist

Wilkinson has put together a book that is quite readable andinteresting. Difficult concepts are explained clearly but concisely. The styleand quality of writing is consistently good across chapters. A strength of thisbook is the breadth of coverage. The authors meet the goal of providingprofessionals with information on ASD, screening, assessment, and interventionsfor the classroom. - Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment
Overall, Wilkinson's text islike a guided tour of the parallel yet overlapping worlds of school andclinical practice, which many of our patients and families navigate daily. Itwill contribute to the reader's knowledge of ASDs and more broadly of howschools accommodate and work with special-needs children. - Journal of the American Academy of Child& Adolescent Psychiatry
