(More customer reviews)These manuals do an amazing job of integrating the crucial elements of both behavioral and developmental treatment strategies for children with autism and presenting them in an easy to use, accessible format. The practitioner manual contains loads of information on how to familiarize yourself with the method, how to successfully teach other clinicians and parents, and how to troubleshoot, as well as the research support behind the strategies. The parent manual walks through the strategies and presents each piece in a friendly manner and can be adapted to either individual or group training. In a field flood with potential resources, these manuals are a must-have.
