This practitioner-focused book provides school psychologists and other
educational professionals with the information they need to be more
fully prepared to serve students with autism. After a brief introduction
to the topic of autism spectrum disorders and an overview of the book,
the text explores the complex etiology of autism, and provides the
reader with a review of epidemiological issues. Three chapters offer
information essential to the identification of autism. The book
concludes with a summary of treatment research.
