"This book is a great tool for those who are new to the field and for parents looking for more information on a variety of topics. The book stays focused on those receiving treatment and best practices. The visual aids help illustrate and demonstrate ideas. The authors do a very thorough job in describing implantation techniques and tools for a variety of treatment options, making this book a great tool for parents and providers."

"This book provides educators with all the basics needed to educate a child with autism."

Midwest Book Review, October 2012

I was looking for a book that provided more details about how to implement specific ASD interventions. This is a good book but the intervention information is more general.
