The book will focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Severe
Disabilities (ASD/SD). Its purpose is to discuss the enhancement of the
pedagogical skills of special education teachers who work specifically
with students on the autism spectrum and have concurrent, significant
intellectual disabilities. Due to the increase in diagnosis of autism,
the editors recognize the need for teachers to have expertise working
successfully with students on the spectrum. In the interest of
pedagogical flexibility that the editors have explored options beyond,
and in addition to, standard ABA guidelines. This book provides
instructional strategies/methodologies for students on the low and high
ends of the spectrum, as defined by the DSM, Fifth Edition, and with
other concurrent severe disabilities
