Book Description
Autistic students can be difficult to understand in a classroom setting. They have complex issues related to their diagnosis. Each issue can effect the quality of their education. Each Autistic student has their own personality and interests, so it makes each one very individualistic and special. The book covers the Individual Education Plan, sensory issues, communication issues, friendship issues, scheduling, behavior modification plan, object fixations, and much more on issues. The book also includes website resoures and a glossary of Special Education terms. I speak in generalities since no two Autistic students are alike. This book was written by a volunteer parent educator with over a decade's worth of experience. This book is written for teachers educating Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Apserger's Syndrome students.

Book Description
Discrete-trials teaching, or DTT, is a very important teaching technique developed by behavior analysts. The DTT Manual has taught numerous groups of individuals to conduct DTT with children with autism in as quickly as 6 hours. The manual is the product of the joint work of Dr. Daniela Fazzio, PhD, BCBA-D and Dr. Garry L. Martin, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology. The manual addresses an area of much need in the field of autism treatment; effective and efficient training for parents and professionals.

Book Description
Autism is in the public spotlight now more than ever as new research and information appears almost daily. Although in many ways this is a positive development it also presents challenges to families and practitioners who want to keep up with the latest developments and are left to sift through new information by themselves to see what is credible and relevant for them.Each of us needs a personal research assistant who can determine which information we need to pay attention to and let us know how it might affect our daily work and the children we are living with or serve. Since we each don’t have our own research assistants on staff, I am delighted to recommend this wonderful book by Fred Volkmar and Lisa Wiesner. Both of these talented professional leaders have combined their scientific skills and understanding of the field with great practical experience and ideas about how research can be translated into clinical practice. The result is a book that provides the best and most comprehensive information about recent scientific developments and a splendid practical guide for how they are being implemented and what we are learning in the process. The issues are presented in all of their complexity but translated into language that is clear, direct, and easy to follow. The format also lends itself to understanding the complex issues and their implications through excellent charts, question and answer sections, and chapters that vary from describing diagnostic issues to stating very specifically how to expand and evaluate the services one is receiving. The comprehensive references and lists of additional resources also add greatly to the overall package. As a professional dedicated to understanding scientific advances and helping families and teachers to utilize them most effectively, I am very pleased to have an ally like this book available. I am very grateful to the authors for providing a very credible, practical, and relevant addition to our field to help the many advocates and family practitioners to better understand the exciting new developments and how they can be implemented in our day to day work. Those taking the time to read through this superb volume will find it time well spent that pays back dividends in many different ways. —FOREWORD by Gary B.
