商品簡介
The number of intervention options available for children with autism can be overwhelming for parents. This book provides brief, user-friendly descriptions of the most commonly publicized treatments for autism, summarizing the available information in an objective and accessible way. Each short chapter covers a single treatment and includes a definition and description; a summary of the prevailing information gleaned from popular press; a summary of what the science says; and an idea of potential costs to parents and schools. This straight-talking and practical guide will allow parents of newly-diagnosed children, as well as any professionals working alongside with them, to sift through the avalanche of advice and make their own informed choices about treatment.
