Synopsis

The purpose of this manual is to develop a better understanding of autism and its treatment.

The manual also helps refine intervention strategies to achieve critical goals that compensate for the often predictable deficits of autism: use systematic process to predict and prevent learning and behaviour problems; capitalize on your clients' strengths to teach meaningful skills; develop individualized strategies and support systems; create a balanced programme that incorporates structure and flexibility; evaluate, plan, and organize instruction and the adaptations to support efficient learning and effective behaviour.
